Back to [1]#BASIC ?* Maybe!* I'm not embarrassed to be on a
Windows machine. Oh now [2]#ThinBASIC - you're gorgeous.* I love
how anti-trendy it is.* It's [3]#Windows Only.* You get access
to everything Windows can do.* " [4]#RealProgrammers consider it
"only [5]#Scripting " yet it compiles to EXE files just fine.
You don't have to write a whole big stinking system in order to
GET STUFF DONE.* One of the test applications opens up Excel,
fills in some Cells and closes it. Direct control of Excel that
I can compile to an EXE and distribute?* I like it. Active
system that's has a strong user community who is making games
and applications? A language that's SUPER EASY to learn, even
for non-programmers? You can control your Windows computer with
it?* Yeah.* I like it. It doesn't play well with Linux?* Doesn't
play well with Android?* Doesn't play well with iPhone?* Doesn't
play well with Mac?* YOU MEAN WE'RE ON DIFFERENT OSs?" Yes, yes
we are.** THIS one is just for mine.* I like it.* I'm not
running Linux natively, nor am I running a JAVA virtual
machine.* NOR am I worried about compiling to XBox, Playstation,
Wii U, 3DSXL I just wanna make my computer do stuff for me and
maybe release something awesome that regular ppl with basic
common Windows systems can run. Maybe I can do that with this.*
First impression?* Impressed. Makes sense.* I'm on a Windows
machine.* I should use a Windows language that compiles Windows
software that can be used on Windows system. Elitist?* Nope.*
Practical?* Yes.* [6]#thinBASIC - a renegade that got my instant
attention. [7]
