[Cooker] BASIC

[Allan Mee]

Hi
I just thought I'd mention I got XBasic to work ok (still trying to get SmallBasic to run) - but at least I can know start on writing some stuff for Linux. Although I can program in C/C++ and x86 assembly - my preferred language is a good BASIC - in the last twenty years, I've used over 400 dialects of BASIC and worked as a programmer for 8 years. I even won over my tutors at college to BASIC (from C) when I did my IT degree :)
I still write Visual BAsic programs - occasionally even commercially!
It would be great if XBASIC (or any good BASIC) was shipped with Mandrake and other distros. I suspect we would probably see much more software being written for Linux if BASIC was shipped with it.
Allan
