Lots of arguments have been (and I'm sure will be) presented, but the biggest issue I can see with such a change is the massive breakage of existing code. > Personally, I think Python syntax is famously clear and beginner- > friendly, and I'd love to see REALbasic steal quite a bit of it. I concur with this statement, but we'd be talking about a completely new language. Maybe an investor should buy into REAL and start a team on REALpython with full GUI support. The best of both worlds - easy to learn and program combined with a great GUI design tool that's appropriate to the platform (in comparison to Tkinter). If fact, it's the ugliness of Tkinter on Mac and Windows that brought me away from Python to REALbasic in the first place. To get Tkinter to look like Mac, we were basically having to draw the controls manually. I'm sure that Tkinter has progressed, but I'm very happy with the three platform support that RB provides (and it keeps getting better).
