[Gambas-user] OT: and in the "too little too late" department

[Rob]

...RealBASIC announces Linux runtime support in the next version, but you'll 
have to build your projects under Mac or Windows:

They make a point of noting they already have a VB project, form and code 
converter, so we'd better get coding some more ;)  I've been waiting for an 
announcement like this for about 3 years now, and would have been the first 
in line back then to pay for it if I could develop under Linux, but to 
announce so little when Gambas has come so far in recent months kind of 
underwhelms me.

RealBASIC is a good product and one which no shop with both Macs and an IT 
staff should presently be without, in my book, and there are probably some 
people on this list for whom it could be a viable solution at $400, but this 
announcement just makes me want to work on Gambas more.
