  I am not a basician (maybe I will become it  ;) ) because I use Python and FreePascal/Lazarus but I search for a couple of time a good free BASIC environment for some of my colleagues who work in a educational area. I tried out RapidQ (good but slow), XBLITE (good and very fast compiler but rather complex for beginners or non professionnal programmers because so close to C), BCX (very good but too complex and suppose you have some knowledge in C language) and FREEBASIC (very good for console application but no good for GUi because it assumes you know how import GTK libraries in C and use them ...).
 So I just discovered your BASIC wich remind me some old flavours of RAPIDQ but much more efficient , fast and rich.

    Will you improve your FNXBASIC in the future ? Have you planned to write a real compiler (it is a huge task ...) ? May I translate the documentation in french ?

             Thank you for this good work.

                       Regards,
                                    Richard.

Congratulations

Hi,

You may translate the help files and you may also translate the editor and compiler language.
I still busy with the new compiler and interpreter that produces faster executes but as fast as ml it will never be.
As you said ml is a big task to do.
I think it must be a compromise between high level and ml in other words it must be made possible to easy add ml routines into fnxbasic.
kind regards marco
