I said along the lines of what John above said nearly two years ago, and was set on fire!
I've been on a few by-routes along the way, C# (MDX/XNA), C++ with DirectX 9 (Quick splattering of DX10) and to be honest, no language is perfect, if there was a perfect language we'd all be using it.
I always seem to float back to Blitz, dont know why, but I do... Project Studio made it 1000 times better, mssmiths IDE is a gem and to be honest, BlitzMax should of shipped with a IDE like that in the first place!
As a base language, BlitzMax is one of the most solid I know in the world of BASIC, but its wrapped up in a god-awful way, and doesnt really get any better in that department apart from updates from its user base.
But then, hasnt that always been the case?
