Where does that one come from? I'd like to see the original if I may.

Unless it's at least a year old, I'd call it one of the most discouraging "roadmaps" I've ever seen. One does not simply develop a language between two takes of one's morning coffee. Especially when one is years behind one's competitors.

OMG! I find it extraordinary to attribute more-than-a-year-overdue idling with PB to the recent spells of bad weather. In my perception, it translates into a loud and clear message that nothing has been done at all the year before.

No wonder there are still no comments from the PBers there. If I were one, I would probably find no words to adequately describe my feelings about having been treated like that.

It is what it is and hasn't changed since the last time I said it.

I think Charles and José Roca's effort using his PB related forum with the O2 board to attract PB users like ChrisC is a wonderful idea. My vote is keeping the O2 forum an open source BASIC compiler development site attracting other developers to contribute.

The fact is O2 isn't a production stable compiler and is in flux.There isn't any value in frustrating a BASIC user that really only cares about compiling their BASIC application without too big of a learning curve. There will be plenty of time in the future to enjoy the spoils.

Aurel is a good example of an application developer that will lock himself into a release to keep development going and gets frustrated when shit breaks trying to upgrade to a more current release.

Yes John , you have a right...and what to do else?
It is not problem with tiny examples but when you have larger programs and then you must fight with
fundamental things like strings, types and strange quirks.
On the other side i like o2 very much and syntax anarchy.. ;D

Charles was right when he said enter with protective head gear. (or enter medicated)  :P

With O2 you're chewing on raw BASIC.

Why hasn't someone started a pb64.inc file for O2?

People who did not understood that PB goes to oblivion with the passing of ZALE, are lost in time for ever ;)

Amen

Why would anyone buy a reconstituted QuickBASIC wannabe that morphed into a DLL builder for VB6 before claiming to be a Windows BASIC?

Yes, deliberate de-capitalization of sentences and mis-spelling of words tend to blur the purpose and meaning of a message on a technical forum.

I suppose it won't be as simple as just an include file. It will certainly need a matching library and a parser. Ask Brian. :)

People are evidently waiting for O2 feature completeness (beta stage) so as not to change horses midstream every now and then.

Patrice,

I seem to be one of the youngest members here and I'm still hoping to outlive y'all. ;)

I'm all for free speech but I'm getting serious complaints about personal insults to forum members. We don't want to put people off by toxifying the forum.

Charles,

I did my best to correct my messages and express myself in a milder tone that others are unlikely to interpret as undeservedly offensive. Henceforth, please do not hesitate to exercise your administrative rights and directly edit or delete those of my posts and/or comments that you may find unwelcome or detrimental to OxygenBasic's public image.

Yet I reserve the right to my own judgement about the world I live in.

As these complaints come from 3rd party senior members of our programming community, we must take them seriously.

So, after a short period, I will quietly remove any offending remarks, so they will not linger to cause further damage.
