"I was up all night playing around with Kate"
"I got Kate to do amazing things last night"
Are you sure, Rob?
I'm glad it's not just me who avoids the use of the word BASIC. I wish their primary domain name didn't have it in too. It costs only a few quid to register a domain name and a few minutes to setup a forwarder from www.blitzbasic.com, and it almost certainly pay for itself.
To be honest, if Blitz marketted BMax as a BASIC language they'd soon get shot down for it and yet the URL shows that they are quite happy to take the stigma of BASIC without taking the advantages of it.
Documentation littered with data types such as function makeItHardToRead:TGadget(someParams:someTyes,moreParams:moreTypes). In no way is BMax a BASIC. It compiles C right? It's a C compiler with a Blitz framework/engine.
The word Blitz is the corporate identity of Blitz Research. I see no harm in this.
Edit: well cook me a kipper they already have the domain blitzmax.com and it doesnt change the URL in my browser to basic when I explore the site. It seems they're already a step ahead of my moaning.
