Blitzmax - A gaming language?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Blitzmax - A gaming language?

I wish people would stop saying its like C/C++/c#, syntactically ITS NOTHING REMOTELY LIKE C.
Yes it is, there's "if then else", while loops, functions, switch statements, constants, variables. All these high level procedural/functional/object oriented languages (C++, PHP, Perl, Javascript, Blitz Basic, Blitz Max etc etc) share a lot in their syntaxes. Learn one and you know them all, save for a few details and working experience. Like "oh I know Select, how do I do that in this language, oh I see it's called Switch". No big difference. Or "oh here I use { and } instead of Begin and End". Again only a small lexical difference, same syntax.
