PureBasic 4.30 Beta1 released!

I played a bit with the 3D too and the best thing I could do for modelling was to make the meshes in MisfitModel3D, export as MS3D (Milkshape), use Blender to export to .XML then use Ogre XML Converter for the final result. A slow procedure, but it worked very well. The only thing is that I never tested the animations but the meshes were converted correctly.

Does PB support dotscene?

fast-cgi already works.

at this time, there seems only to be a possibility for windows, not a crossplatform-solution.
I personally think, that the security-issues of compiled languages weight much less these days. Compiled code (like pb) is generally regarded as the option for maximum performance on the server side, but as one compiled server extension, at the time, can not be isolated from the next one running on the same computer, it is regarded as a solution that required a dedicated server. With the advancements in virtualisation (vmware, hypervisor etc.) this doesn't count any more. An aditional level of virtualisation (java, .net) isn't necessary any more.

Native applications beat interpreted application in performance and memory utilization in just about every task (even in respect of just-in-time-compilation, which also has overhead).

So i think that using pb on the server-side via a standard library or a compiler option for compiling to an apache-modul (or with a bundeld webserver - also a serversocket-class would be a good start), would be an ideal solution - lightweight in memory consumption and ideally suited for load balancing in server farm environments.

Being able to do webapplications is a big plus for a language these days.
