Gambas on top ten programming languages

Post by cage »

Was looking around at the best programming languages for Linux and found one web site that included Gambas. While all the other languages had pretty much a laundry list of cons, Gambas had only one con listed. That one con was that it wasn't cross platform. Since you can run Gambas on Windows now I don't feel that cross platform will be a problem in the future.

Lack of cross platform has always been the biggest con yes, though it is certainly true that WSL on Windows 10 is making it rather moot. Otherwise I certainly think it is highly under-rated. The only comparable IDE to me is Lazarus, and it is far less polished.
