Something like that, yeah.

#4Funny, you'd think the idea of a graphical version of BASIC would have come to mind when he bought MacBasic for $1:

For my part, I've decided that my next project will probably be done in PureBasic/SpiderBasic, and that if I then feel the need for pure opensource goodness I'll port it Gambas.
That said, if one wants HyperCard on the Mac (or Windows) there's still LiveCode (though it gave up on opensource).

#6I'm so old ... I got a coding job in 1991. The boss asked if I had any experience in Visual Basic. I said no, but it just came out last week. It's hard to describe what a huge leap for mankind that was compared to QuickBasic.

Author here. Let me first note that the site is 100% free, and requires no account to read anything. I only use the built-in Ghost blogging subscription for those who want it delivered to their email, but it is absolutely not necessary. That's the full and total extent of anything email related with the site. I have many readers who subscribe to the RSS feed, which is free and open and requires no email whatsoever.
I have been trying to get this unblocked for some time now. I've tried reporting it as a false positive, and so did the Ghost admins, through the Google safebrowsing report mechanism. I saw my blog listed on phishtank.net, but that site isn't accepting new accounts and I have to have an account to report a false positive.
Ghost admins recommended I use a custom subdomain, and it may come to that. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is very frustrating.

It really was an incredible tool especially for RAD. One of my first "professional" gigs was in highschool porting an old CAD program written for VB-DOS over to VB 3.0. Sure as hell beat the landscaping work I did over the previous summer.

UBlock Origin is also giving me the warning on that domain.

Wow “RAD” is such a throw back. Everything is now RAD with AI, we need to bring back the term.
