He He ! (it is the same thing in VB, but is badly hidden)

You are right, it could be a solution.

It depends. It is far slower than a C program to make loops and computing. It 
is slower for making string handling, or file reading. It is a bit slower to 
make GUI. But all gambas is enough fast to make an useful IDE. And if you 
need speed, you can write a component in C.

Hmmm... Maybe you need the network component that will be done one day.
