PureBasic Forums - English

I like PureBasic alot but it has short commings that anoy me a bit so I'm gonna post it here and see what happens.

1. Needs a the capability to fork as well as thread.
2. Needs to be able to read socket input line by line.
3. The ability to make librarys under *nix.
4. Stream support would be nice, think filestreams,memory streams, and string streams/lists. I'm reffering to Delphi/FPC TStream stuff.
5. OOP support, the ability to create classes that can inherit and have protected and public procedures. That would be majorly cool if this got added .

demands = requests i presume?

anyway... if you paid attention to the boards you may have noticed that...

- pb is not oo and perhaps never will
- you can do streams using winapi

dunno about the others

but if you wanna see what happens, well, not much unless one asks nicely...

demands = requests is correct. I'm just tossing it out there and hoping something comes of it since thats really all anyone can do.

That's what I was thinking... demands won't achieve anything.

Heya kake26.

Having a good year end?

Not really you can blame #5 for that no OOP.

But for many of us, #5 not being there is considered a plus.
You may want to look at another language, as it appears Fred is not going to go down the OOP path.
