PureBasic Forums - English

Just an idea!

As the langauge and ide becomes more pro, why not a brand new name with it?
Maybe for version 6?

Probasic 6

It was pure, now its pro

That would ruin all marketing, links, reviews, customer recognition, brand awareness, and so on. Basically, it'd make PureBasic dead and nobody would use ProBasic because it's a "new" language. Not gonna happen.

I would call it Assurbanipal or Nabucodonosor.

I would call it Pabasical or Superb.

Magnifique!

I would call it: Back2Basic Pro

I don't know, I think MaestroBasic has a nice ring to it somehow, perhaps with something like a 3D bullfrog logo...

Ribbit

Looking at my favorite christmas gift, I would prefer an update for PB on ARM Processors and than call it Pi Basic

The acronym is cute and I like it. Only small error is in it. The verb (Underestimate) must be without ending "s", because subject (Proffesionals) is plural. Maybe a typo.

What about ProBeer
Tons of German speaking programmers would at least "try" out this language...

I suppose that DoctorLove wanted to make the point that PureBasic passed all other BASIC's in functionality and versatility.

At this point in time it's the last BASIC-like language I frequently use (all the other ones have C-stle syntax...)

not at the Pro stage yet...

I don't think so.
But at least it's always provisional.

Awesome idea! And then let's continue changing Fred's name. What about Prod? Instructions would come next: ProEach, ProEver, ProIf, ...
