I miss the possibility to compile a DLL (like in Power-Basic).
So I can use the ASM-Speed of PureBasic where its needed,
and include it to my quickly created Visual-Basic Programms
that have long time all those features you all miss here.
I doubt PureBasic can incorporate all necessary features in an adequate time to compete with modern programming languages like VB cause simply there are missing 20 more programmers (or 100 ?).
So I would still prefer to take it for a DLL-Compiler which I
can speed up my other project.
Things may change a little, if I really see a working IDE one day ....
