[Gambas-user] Gambas on cover of Linux Format #64 (March)

/*
I'm always suprised at how many people consider basic a toy language.
I've had some pretty massive manufacturing account systems running un BASIC,
as well as a host of other enterprise worthy packages. I've used lots of
breeds of BASIC, Pascal, COBOL and some C and Java, but for doing prototypes
and standard applications BASIC has a place. No offense, because C is great
for standard applications too and BASIC is hardly the systems development
tool of choice. For the past 5 years I've tried to let people know that
Linux needs a BASIC development tool and am glad that GAMBAS is finally
here. Keep up the great work guys. It appears people are beginning to pay
attention.

I agree... I write BASIC code ( from rom-basic of Z-80 processors to
ms-visual-basic ) since 1982. In my last days writing BASIC programs, I
wrote lot of codes to connect the VB programs into DB2 databases running in
IBM Mainframes. These programs are up and running today :)

I'm very happy to know GAMBAS. As I said in Gambas-devel list, I'm really in
love with GAMBAS, and porting some applications and "OO-VB-CODE" to GAMBAS.
