Not sure, maybe Fred has to answer that one. Good question though.
But, I think there are alot more users then even Fred knows about, I'm thinking about companies and such.

Fred could probably provide the registered user count but I doubt anyone knows how many "users" there are.
I imagine some registered users no longer use it and, as good as it is, I would bet there are quite a few "non registered" users.
Probably no way to know.
cheers

They are 1902 registered users on this forum.
This is not the answer but a first level of information

yes thankyou for that...
I just wondered what the user base is it must be quite good
just wanted to find out how popular compared to other languages...
I guess it is a bit of a daft question
I love where Pure Basic is going - powerful and very nice command set
machine code inline assembly, optimisers as well & not forgeting nice Windows GUI commands :roll:

I am not sure, but when I joined the community, some years ago, they were probably between 1.000 and 2.000 licensed users.
But I guess actually we are more than 10.000 people.
Fred will tell maybe.
I was really happy to see the growing japaneses participants on the forum and I am sure a lot of people are using licensed software there.
Interesting to see the list of forums users coming from so much countries.
Purebasic is no more a frenchy EECy design environment.
Maybe in some years a subsidiary will open in Seattle ?

I guess this is the first time I invest a few money on something I can use for my whole life.
I changed three times of computer since I bought Purebasic.
But I never changed language.
Much things have changed in my life the few past years, but as far as life allow me to come back on oftware design, I first run Purebasic.
I am really happy with it because I can draw anything I can think to.
Dividing the price by the time I use it make it so cheap !
And never forget that Purebasic is provided with two major components :
- the devolpment tool itself with some adds and goodies
- the community
That's it.

Actual number of french forum participants is 391.
I let you all ladies and guys to list forums you use to visit.
Then we will have a nice list of the visible and underground community ...
Not a good idea ?
