Rename "purebasic" to "probasic"

Post by DoctorLove »

Just an idea!

As the langauge and ide becomes more pro, why not a brand new name with it?
Maybe for version 6?

Probasic 6

It was pure, now its pro ;)

:lol: That would ruin all marketing, links, reviews, customer recognition, brand awareness, and so on. Basically, it'd make PureBasic dead and nobody would use ProBasic because it's a "new" language. Not gonna happen.
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!

I don't know, I think MaestroBasic has a nice ring to it somehow, perhaps with something like a 3D bullfrog logo... :mrgreen:

The acronym is cute and I like it. Only small error is in it. The verb (Underestimate) must be without ending "s", because subject (Proffesionals) is plural. Maybe a typo. :?

What about ProBeer :?:
Tons of German speaking programmers would at least "try" out this language...

I suppose that DoctorLove wanted to make the point that PureBasic passed all other BASIC's in functionality and versatility.

At this point in time it's the last BASIC-like language I frequently use (all the other ones have C-stle syntax...)

The advantage of a 64 bit operating system over a 32 bit operating system comes down to only being twice the headache.

I don't think so.
But at least it's always provisional.

Awesome idea! And then let's continue changing Fred's name. What about Prod? Instructions would come next: ProEach, ProEver, ProIf, ...
