Come on. No disrespect to Dennis Ritchie, but there is no programming language more amatuerish and unimaginatively named than C! We've made a language that mixes B and BCPL, lets call it C!
Yet despite it's meager beginings as a way to get Unix ported to different architectures, and it's uncanny resemblance to Fortran, it's probably the single most used programming language in the world today. Why? Well certainly not becuase it's a better language, but because it was first.
You want to create a successful programming language, start in the early 70's and make it free. But for BRL, that's a little late.
I don't get it. If you want all languages to be like C, why not just use C in the first place? Someone who is religiously biased towards using C is going to think you're an amateur regardless of what language you use. Hel, some of them will even look down on you if you can't make your own makefile. Is that the kind of programer you want to be?

In no way is BMax a BASIC. It compiles C right? It's a C compiler with a Blitz framework/engine.
No, it compiles BlitzMAX - you need a third party application, namely the GNU C Compiler to be able to compile C. If you want to be elitist you can always say it's like an assembly language (what BCC outputs, and FASM assembles into object code) because it'll do that "out-of-the-box".I don't get it.

It also sounds like a rapper.
Yeah. What the world really needs is more programming languages that sound like rappers.
