Just what you people think about how would ideal/perfect (x)basic look like. Here's my thoughts:

Code:
1) overloaded functions/subs

example:

   declare sub printf(a%)

   declare sub printf(a$)

   declare sub printf(a#, f$)

2) multiline program lines(much like in c), but what would have same auto errir checking as in qb.

forexample: line (100,100)-(200,200),6,5 (would be just like in qb), but also could be written like:

line { (100, 100) -

       (200, 200),

       6,

       5

     }

3) possablity to include with '$include: 'stuff' functions/subs, declarations. Whatever. Right in the top of the file. Instead of those modules what are in qb now. It'd make a hell a lot easier to write one program by meny people. Or use same code in meny programs.

4) inline asm

5) Proper database support(mysql, xml) would be superb. Pascal, C/C++ have it

6) 32 bit protected mode code generation (16 bit optionally too)

7) Rhide style IDE

8) TYPE, constant declarations inside functions. 

9) possability to use C/C++ libraries and headers

10) pointers. 

well some more, but this is main for me. Post your ideas too. Who knows maybe one day they'll come true :wink:

very nice features vongodric. lets hope you can implement them =)

Although that would kill backwards compatibilty.... All of those would be awesome >^_^<

Yeah, it would be cool, but rather than making a language like that, why not just use C or C++?

Cause we love the QB syntax, and the QB IDE, the QB IDE error trapping etc...

=)

And we really hate the C syntax Wink

.. right?

Not me. C syntax is way more intelligent and flexible.

*Floods with fear* I can't have started a QB vs. Other Languages flamewar...

Lol

They are just opinions. I see C syntax way more flexible. Things like the International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) are impossible to do in QB Tongue

It's so fixed.

This is an interesting way of defining your main function:

Code:
short main[] = {

    277, 04735, -4129, 25, 0, 477, 1019, 0xbef, 0, 12800,

    -113, 21119, 0x52d7, -1006, -7151, 0, 0x4bc, 020004,

    14880, 10541, 2056, 04010, 4548, 3044, -6716, 0x9,

    4407, 6, 5568, 1, -30460, 0, 0x9, 5570, 512, -30419,

    0x7e82, 0760, 6, 0, 4, 02400, 15, 0, 4, 1280, 4, 0,

    4, 0, 0, 0, 0x8, 0, 4, 0, ',', 0, 12, 0, 4, 0, '#',

    0, 020, 0, 4, 0, 30, 0, 026, 0, 0x6176, 120, 25712,

    'p', 072163, 'r', 29303, 29801, 'e'

};

Or you can try some fancy formatting:

Code:
extern int

                                                       errno

                                                         ;char

                                                            grrr

                             ;main(                           r,

  argv, argc )            int    argc                           ,

   r        ;           char *argv[];{int                     P( );

#define x  int i,       j,cc[4];printf("      choo choo\n"     ) ;

x  ;if    (P(  !        i              )        |  cc[  !      j ]

&  P(j    )>2  ?        j              :        i  ){*  argv[i++ +!-i]

;              for    (i=              0;;    i++                   );

_exit(argv[argc- 2    / cc[1*argc]|-1<<4 ]    ) ;printf("%d",P(""));}}

  P  (    a  )   char a   ;  {    a  ;   while(    a  >      "  B   "

  /* -    by E            ricM    arsh             all-      */);    }

Nice

And yes, C syntax is way more flexible

phew atleast someone likes C/C++'s syntax =D
