Back in the day I was coding 2d games in BlitzBasic, which was really cool. But it was fullscreen only, no way to open even a simple window with a button. In their online FAQ they recommended PureBasic for such purpose. Well, it was love at first sight.

Bought the full version through André, I think it was version 2.50 – still payed in German Marks. Since then PB has been part of my life. Coded several specialized tools for a multitude of clients. This made me a living for more than two decades. Today I just code for fun as a hobby, but still love to be part of this great journey. Following the ongoing development of PB is pure joy!

Happy Birthday, PureBasic!
Thank you for everything and keep going.

Happy Birthday from me too 🥳

I found PureBasic as a box in a computer store in 2004 and quickly switched to the full version.
Since then I have some application services with customers running.
I'm still writing tools ;)

The currently a tool to occupy the F keys (F1 to F12) as I want it and not as the program allows it.

Happy Birthday to the best kept secret in RAD programming!
I'm dismayed by the bloat of C# and the slowness of Python and the nonsensical frameworks of Javascripts supporting CSS and html web pages.
Still using PB wherever I can.
C for most else.

I'm new to PureBasic. I've made 1.5 games with it so far. I wish I had discovered it a decade ago!
