Sorry, but probably us humans! :lol:

the 32-bit version can compile itself since 2 weeks now iirc, the thing is that there's some minor bugs that need to be fixed and as there's a new bug every day it's kind of tedious he..

Whoever said that the IDE is not important or insignificant is terribly wrong.
Would you code VB in a notepad? (i know someone said that, but thats retarded dude ) The IDE is the single most important thing aside from a functional compiler, and I think maybe just as important. Without a functional IDE, your whole idea of making it newbie friendly has just been shat on.

I think if someone makes a (good) IDE in VB it will never be ported to FB .. No need for it then .. ?

Unless FB is going to handle GUI elements sometime soon, I don't think that making the IDE itself in FB is a very wise idea. Sure, you can make a RHIDE wanabe or something that resembles the original QB IDE, but it's going to take you ages to accomplish and it's probably gonna be supbar anyways.
Jofers, I can send you a burned copy of VB6 if you'd like.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

We'll see you in 2008 when you've reached beta statusIm sure if someones wanted to they could knock up a C++ IDE in 2 weeks. Basically Notepad with syntax highlighting and a compile button.... and some other sutff. Without much work.

Wow guys, I step out for three weeks and look at what happens
Best of luck to this project. If it is needed, someone could send me a copy to test on a variety of Linux boxes. See you guys around |
