Gambas, in Gambas. :-)

When it will be ready. I think a 2.0 could be release when at least the IDE 
and the GTK+ component is finished, and maybe other things.

They should tell.

I'm not a soothsayer, but I'd like to make Gambas a easy web application maker 
tool. I want that making a dynamic web site is as easy as making a GUI 
application. But there are many other tasks before: the IDE, the GTK+ 
component, the DBUS component, the Report component, 64 bits support...

Not so many people. But when the IDE will have complete support for making 
them, maybe other people will start looking at them.
