There are some modern versions of basic (e.g. Purebasic and Powerbasic) that seem extremely nice. Also, there is Xojo, which is a fully OO Basic that natively cross compiles to Mac/Windows/Linux/Android/iOS/Raspberry pi. Xojo also has a full RAD tool that abstracts away a lot of stuff. Pretty easy to build games on it too. It's commercial though.
- campsoftware 3y agoXojo is full of bugs. https://ifnotnil.com https://ifnotnil.com was set up after Xojo banned users for complaining... Xojo also compiles to Web Apps. But to compile to all those targets means creating a - Project for Desktop ( Mac/Win/Lin/Rasp ) - Project for iOS - Project for Android - Project for Web So, four different Projects instead of one Project. You can create externals to share code between projects. I used Xojo shortly after it became available under the name "REALbasic" back when you could only compile to Desktop. Web, iOS, Android were later added. I spent a ton of time on Web 1.0, but Xojo replaced it with Web 2.0 with no upgrade path, practically requiring a rewrite. So I now code my Web Apps with PHP. While I really wanted to keep using Xojo, the lack of quality just got worse and worse. The only bugs I encounter now are my own. If Xojo was as tight as PHP, I'd still be using Xojo!
