John don't worry, Scriptbasic is a very good BASIC still the same. As you know, Scriptbasic has been a source of inspiration for BaCon also. The string processing capabilities of Scriptbasic are impressive, especially its performance. It outperforms almost every other BASIC including BaCon. On the other hand, I just checked its documentation again, but it seems there are no statements like PEEK and MEMORY, with which BaCon gains its power. Anyway, IMHO we're not on earth to pick on eachother and to feel better at the expense of something or somebody else. As the infamous dr. Phil once said: "I'ld rather be happy then be right". So I apologize if my posts has led to any annoyance. Let's just continue doing the things we're good at and have good time as long as we're alive. Best regards Peter

Hey jrs
+1 agree
I felt some "tension building" and resorted to humor as a comic relief nothing personal friend all who advance Basic and linux are cool we should all work together and have fun

I would like users to accept ScriptBasic for it's intended purpose (embeddable scripting language) and not in any competition with interpreters, translators or compilers.
I added a VARPTR() function to the SB version of GTK-Server. It allowed me to access Gtk functions previously out of reach to SB. Low level functions like memory access should be wrapped in an extension module. IMHO

jrs - you say one thing and show another. Your thread seems to be about trying to prove scriptbasic is faster than others.
I looked at that thread Pjot provided the link for and it is a bit ridiculous if you ask me. Who cares what works faster or better. If it works and you are comfortable using it, that is the important point.
This place was quite nice and friendly till the lot of you from the basic programming forum came over and continued the crap over here.
I don't speak for anyone else here but I could care less about these things and even less about seeing these little bickering sessions over nonsense.
I haven't looked at scriptbasic or any of the other basic options in linux other than bacon and gambas. Your project does seem quite neat and surely it has its purpose as do all the other basic options.
This forum also has a purpose, to discuss BaCon programming.
Can't we all just get along? Far too much time is wasted on useless discussions like this. Sure they sometimes result in code optimizations but for the most part they just cause people to argue about stupid little things especially when they are a spillover form another forum.
Please don't take offense to any of this as this is only my opinion and I like this forum and the people here, including you.

I think I have shown my dedication to the BaCon open source project by hosting a forum for Peter in the early stages of development and tried to document the project in a wiki.
I have been working with Peter since 2005. (GTK-Server and other experiments along the way)

I would lower your expectations to being tolerated.

Folks, Please stop fighting now. Everybody is welcome to the BaCon forum, of course. Why don't we all go to an electronic Zendo and chill out for a while? I will lock this thread now and I hope to see valuable contributions, remarks, bugreports from everybody in the near future... Thanks, Peter
