BTW, David, I do not see any reason for you to abandon WxBasic. It was a good effort and you should bring it to the level of Wxwidgets 3.0.2

I wish I had the time! Basically, I put a bunch of cool stuff I saw in other languages into wxBasic.

But I found that I ended up spending all my time working on tools, but never having time to use them.

Unfortunately, no one stepped up to take over the coding, so it's languished since then.

The reality is that I never would have written wxBasic if wxLua had been written first. Since there are nice scripting languages to fill the "scripting language for wxWidgets" gap, I don't feel that bad about it. But it is a sweet little language (only slightly biased opinion here). blink

Although I have not used WxLua, your acceptance of it is good enough for me. However, the fact is that from a "Branding" point of view, everybody knows about "BASIC" language - the older generation knows it as "BASIC" and the younger generation knows it as "VISUAL-BASIC"; therefore, WxBasic would be a good language to work with - the promotion work has already been done for you.
