Digital Fortress:
What's so special about BlitzMax?
Well depends on who you talk too. Im not sure its bringing anything new and earth shatering to the programming arena, but it sure seems to be a step beyond the BlitzBasics of the past. The big question now is how does it compare to other cross platform environments for the purpose of writing code. Unfortianatly we will need to watch BlitzCoder for that info since the BMax forums are not accessable to those of us who whould wrather learn about the language first before buying. As it stands now, Im no really sure how BMAX stands up to something like JAVA with Eclipse? Maybe faster, but not even that is a garauntee as JAVA can be faster the C++ in certain situations( I admit not the most comon ones ).
I for one am happy to see it released but will not buy it till the PC/Linux versions are out and I see some more input from existing customers.
