Haha, I wondered when the RAD "secret" would get out?

Interesting read (even if there is some small errors here and here) ! That's one of the goal of PB, real cross-platform native GUI with a very small footprint (for executable, memory and cpu). May be PureBasic should get an ECO label to not waste computer resources for nothing ! :lol:

Thanks for the link ! :shock:

Yeah, PB is the last of basic compiler that survive today and no other like PB offers some awesome stuff as good of a lot from library and a C backend, PB is very modern and easy to make some apps/games :mrgreen:

Fred understands very well of compiler and technic, i wondered if he was coming from demomaker for grand prize of low size of kb :shock: :mrgreen:

Fred is a real wizard programmer as well with his team too 8)

This is proof that purebasic is the bomb!!
For the use I give it, I put aside many languages that are supposed to be superior a long time ago.
Currently PHP, JS, C/C++ and some python but I have to admit that I don't like them, they make me feel as comfortable as with purebasic.
Every time I have shown it to friends and students who come from other languages, it has been love at first sight. Its mix of simplicity and power is unrivaled.
It's wonderful to open it and write direct code without libraries or preambles. :wink:

Yes PB is real ECO, i can work in my xeon X5 with battery up to 10 hours (disable network, bluetooth, all i can disable hehe).
¡Viva Purebasic and the team! :lol:
