That's very sad, PureBasic owes a lot to Mark and BlitzBasic. RIP

that's sad news. I thought I'd met him a few times but I may have confused him with another mark sibly from sun microsystems who worked on the jvm :shock:

RIP Mark :( I think I missed the golden age of Blitz Basic, but I definitely played some of the games and was influenced by the various Blitz tools, then I used Monkey for a few years and he was supportive of the custom IDE I wrote (in PB!)
