You are all dying, and will probably die before the BASIC qmunity do.
So what if it "dies" the only reason it would die was if no-one was interessted in it anymore. And I'm sorry to say, if you keep spreading "QB IS DYING!" then you get less people interessted, thus it will really be dying.
Just have fun with it, just because noone else use it, who says you can't. None of my friends use QB in their programming, they constanly pick on me for using a "dead, old clumsy, slow aso..." language that "sucks big time", so what? I don't care, I find basic to be the easiest language around and it is a lot of fun, I have still to come across a program that can NOT be made in BASIC (You CAN make a Q3 clone, just use inline assembler, and NO I'm not saying it would be fast)
It's like the C people "we love the trash handling of C" yeah, cause it is a highway to lazy programming... "damn, i forgot to free the memory handler... aww.. wtf... I'm just gonna ignore it.... the compiler will handle it anyways" yeay, great programming.....
C is a dying language.
C++ is a dying language.
C# is a dying language.
VB is a dying language.
[insert programing language here] is a dying language.
But they will live for as long as there is interesst, not commercial value... I have an interesst in QB, do you?
