With Blitz, you have the same commands for a great number of different entities, cutting down on programming time and increasing the likelihood of organised code.
Agree! Mark's use of simple object structures has given the Blitz language some key advantages over traditional BASIC. I am hopeing he extends this concept in later products. (BLITZMAX?)
Personally my ideal programming language supports a mix of OO (object oriented) and procedural techniques. Blitz somewhat supports this mix now and I suspect even more so in the future.
Another interesting language is the "Java Script" style programming implemented in clickteam's Jamagic. I really like the ideas behind this product but at the moment it is limited by its implementation.
