I love PureBasic...

I have posted similar threads over the years, but this one has more details to "prove" my love.

I had a game about 70% finished in Blitz Plus:
15,236 lines of code
2,072 KB size of the exe it compiled to (takes 4-5 seonds to compile)

I have been rewriting this game in PureBasic 3.94:
17,871 lines of code (so far)
178 KB size of the exe it compiles to (almost instant compiling)

I gave IBasic Pro another look recently as there was a new 2D pak being worked on. The new 2D pak is good, but IBasic is still slow and bloated beyond belief:
97 lines of code (example program)
191 KB size of the exe it compiled to

This is why I love PureBasic!
