Perhaps Fred could create a new forum section where DK_PETER et al can list all the features they don't want
PureBasic Forums - English

Amazing...
Purebasic is perceived as a niche compiler, but still with this niche compiler there are application niches.
DK_Peter uses it for entertainment.
My intend walks more into multi-platform tools (Win, Linux, IOS).
Next one has again different purposes....
And everything still with a niche compiler.
So why not brighten the niche a bit for ARM-Linux, since it may be feasible?
No replies please..just teasing

is iOS not the OS the Apple notebooks work with?
I thought they managed to put it together.
But anyway - I am not part of the Apple-hype group.

It would be great if PB supported ARM microcontrollers, for example, STM32.
For ARM only mikroBasic, and I think that the PB for ARM is much more promising than SpiderBasic.

Thx User_Russian,
this was one of my first thoughts for this thread.
Nice to see, that I am not the only guy thinking in this direction, which might be possible with the cross-platform approach.
Since basic ARM-platforms are sold at an unbelievable low price there seems to me still a demand for BASIC programming.

I think the only good way to support ARM platforms with a Basic alike dialect would be a transpiler solution, aka Spiderbasic, but as target language C.
Take a look at nim-lang, it has C, C++, ObjC, JS targets - it's possible to write baremetal with it, you can turn off the gc and manage your data yourself too if you want! Or vala, ooc-lang, or,... there are a lot transpilers that uses easy to learn syntax and spits out plain C.
C is the almost lowest common denominator (asm is not a programming language, its like machine code - human readable), it runs on everything, is mostly really good optimized for that platforms and there are a lot of libs, for raspberry too.

of course support for another OS would be great, but sometimes i wonder if people forget how many Freds there are (precious limited commodity, even his wife has only one!), how very few hours there are in an earth day, and how much work remains to be done on Win/Linux/OSX such as bugs and a million user-requested features, so if you want mobile/ARM development it's surely going to come at the great expense of losing a lot of Fred's time working on the Purebasic we already know and love and paid for. 
perhaps a crowdfunding campaign to raise dollars that can be used for Fred to direct freelance programmers!? anyway just sharing my concern, thankyou for listening

Yes it is a question of resources...but also a question of strategy.
If Fred would signal that he was aiming for more growth of Fantaisie Software then we could respond.
The compiler and its copyrights are in Freds hand so he is the person to decide.
Now with a good position in Tiobes programming language ranking (#43 in April 2016) maybe it is time for Fred to think about changing some parameters of his business model.

One thing for sure:
The C backend seems to be really promising!
I love this! It's exciting!
