PureBasic Forums - English

Hi all,
I just wanted to share a few thoughts I had about PB. First off, I love that PB can create wrappers for stuff that is written in C so easily. The prime example are the C headers I've translated into PB with little effort and have had them work very well. Under win32 allot of the API support is really top notch. Rarely must I find the DLL or what not that the API call is in and use it directly most of the time something_ works fine. I'm telling you though PB was a bit expensive for me at least, I don't regret buying it at all. All basics should be like PB. As far as I'm concerned PB is the only basic that got its stuff right. I love the small and fast exe code it produces ans best of all true 100% standalone. Thats something you don't see so much these days. Especially with .NET and such relying on frameworks a user has to download and install. Which personally I think is a shame. Either way great job Fred, keep it up.

Why is this Off-Topic?

Well if its not about programming, but its about the language itself.. you can post anywhere .

We all know that already, think about it.. why are we here in first place? because we like PB as much as you do (or even more).

Yep its lame.. and everyone moved to it almost, just because they were almost forced to

I suppose I could have posted it in General or what not but I figured I'd post it here to be safe. Also I wasn't exactly in the right frame of mind here, lol.
