that's not entirely true, python can make windows executables, i dunno if it's really compiling or not though, and qbasic is an interpreted lang, sorta like a scripted lang, whereas quickbasic is interpreted / compiled. Tongue
Fine not entirly true but the idea behind it stays

Well, Python since Quick basic isn't a language of any type.

QuickBasic (or Quickbasic) is however. Tongue
It goes without saying, however, that in many areas, FreeBASIC trumps python.

As for qb, it's a twenty year old program. JAVASCRIPT is faster and more functional.
Python is not the language of choice for games, but it works great for networking apps (Look at how good Bittorrent is doing). FB easily beats it when it comes to speed, however.

Are all the clients that use bittorrent python made? I was under the impression that some weren't.
