Hi Ivan,

Welcome to this fantastic community.

BTW:

C++ is also created by a Dane Bjarne Stoustrup. I think he works at a American university.

Did you see what Linux Torwald said again last week or so about C++? "There's nothing you do in C++ you can't do in pure C. C++, it's nothing but BS and pure crap." ;)

And I 100% support his view.
It's better to look like an idiot for a short time while asking something obvious to an expert than pretending to be smart all your life. (C) Me.

I notized you are doing a lot in Linux. I had a few go's trying Linux but all that Sudo and long commands are overwhelming for me. No I did se that, but I think Linus says exactly, what he thinks. :o)

In my view C++ is becoming more and more unreadable. Last time I had a go of C++, I studied type casting. The code almost looked like something from another planet. I think, it would be much easier for me to write op codes in 6205 assembler :o)

The Basic I'm using right now do have OOP, but the implementation does not make it easy for my to write in a clear manner.

I think the Basic language also have to evolve and why not trying to have structures/types with properties AKA OOP or not?

Regards,

Ivan

Started with BBCBASIC in 1984 and UniComal. Some expirence wth c++ and database. For the last two years I had coded almost every day mostly in Basic.

Hi Ivan.  Your English is great!  I also use Purebasic and have found it a very useful tool.  Hope you continue on with QB64 - it's a very comfortable language and lots of code examples to learn from.

Hi Dav,

And thanks.

QB64 is not dropped and I will have more go's at it.

Regards,

Ivan

Welcome!!
I was programming in QB45 and it has been easy to convert my warehouse management program to QB64, which now uses SQL databases.
One of my programs already has 46,150 lines of code, so there are no problems with the size of the code.

Thanks,

You must use an enormous documentation to admin so much code.

In my present project I have constructed a relational database. For now I have managed to write and read.

I'm exited to try to make search facilities...
