  1. Review - FreeBASIC for Windows

    0.18.4b (Jul 29, 2009)

    I agree and disagree with jaco. As it stands freebasic is not an enterprise ready language. From the stand point of a system developer, freebasic has a long way to go before it is ready for large applications. Once Freebasic has implamented true OOP it will then be ready for real use.

    We just have to remember, true OOP is for the reuse of code. Nothing else. Sure a good programmer can write good code and most languages have simular syntax, but the true power of OOP is the ability to reuse and extend the original code without having to change it at all. Well written OOP code allows for this. Well written FreeBasic, quick basic dose not.

    Yes a person can make the same mistakes in vb, asp, and vb.net as they can in FreeBasic. But the true OOP languages are so much better for a programmer that can both think and write code in the OOP way.
