A great point. I recently was able to create a compressed, encrypted binary data storage file using a stack and a single line of code. This data file stores text data along with imades in 3 different formats.
This data file is actually a stack with no business logic and is opened by my app invisibly and data selectively moved to the gui, edited there and then moved back to the inv stack to save. Talk about simple. Doing the same in VB would be very complicated. I imagine RB too.
Btw, regarding speed issues, I think there have been a number of speed coding challenges between RB and RR with no conclusive winner. Perhaps Frank can be more specific with regard to areas he feels RR runs slow?
Also, last time I looked, RR compiles scripts 'on the fly' like Java. Didn't know RB was a compiler. Must be tough on edit/compile/run/debug cycles. Perhaps it's an interpreter like RR and compiles during runtime? I don't know.
