Re: What is the best and accessible code language?
@13
Paying for PureBasic isn't the problem. The problem with PB is that it is literally C but you pay $90 or whatever for it, it's not using state of the art compiler technology (at least last I looked at it), and it's an entirely different syntax because people think that Basic syntax is easy for some reason. The only thing it gives you, literally the only thing, is you don't have to bother learning how to install libraries (which, in at least 4 programming languages I can think of, is learning one shell command--this goes up to at least 7 if you're willing to do a little setup first).
So the question you have to ask yourself is, is $90 and being in an unpopular language where not much help is available worth a few hours more of your time at most to figure out how to use insert-package-manager-here and go to insert-official-package-manager-documentation-site to find docs on the packages you might want to use? Convince enough sighted programmers that it is and you'll have a popular language, but even if it goes to $0 people demand more from their languages than PB offers nowadays anyway, like not having to do manual memory management or deal with pointers.
