Dark Basic, Real Basic and Bears, Oh my!

I've got a copy of Real Basic which is kind of a kitchen sink language. I find it's performance to be awful and it's development environment puts my teeth on edge. I bought Dark Basic because it sounded good on the box. IMHO, it's unpredictable garbage collection lags are a deal breaker. But I bet Euphoria could add wire model and texturing features that would blow dark basic away. That would be added functionality that would promote usage. Minimalist my ass, I say! Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead. (torpedos during that era being more a keg of black powder than what we think of as a torpedo today.) Dark basic wraps directX. I'd think Euphoria would use OpenG (what is the name? I forgot. Old age, creaping up on me.) Don't shoot the messenger. Just one of many thoughts bouncy around in my pretty little head (think, thunderous echos.)
