Hi
Freebasic is still very much usable, and used by many people, and seems to be a very capable language. However the development was run by essentially 2 dedicated and gifted amateurs, who grew tired of this, developed other life based interests, and grew tired of the bitchy and derogatory comments that were being posted to the forum, and subsequently retired.
Anyone see any similarities?
I wonder if this is actually the life cycle of the smaller niche languages.
Cheers
Chris
I think the point here is whether or not the language and compiler are stable. Even if the developers drift away the Euphoria compiler and tools still exist and may be used as always. What IS important is the user forum and the archives, somewhere to discuss things and get answers and somewhere to get the software.
Long live Euphoria!
Regards,
