In context of the original topic: Back when looking for a VB6 alternative, having rejected VB.Net, I first investigated RealBASIC as it was then called, along with several others including C++ and Lazarus. Also in some areas I was pushing the boundaries of Jet's capabilities, but no such issues with the PureBasic DB. Since then the performance and reliability has been outstanding. After getting used to the language, DB implementation was excellent and converting my existing data no problem. For my purposes the the PureBasic/SQLite combination has been perfect. Totally agree - I was another VB6 to PureBasic convert! My main application is entirely driven by a big database so it moved from MS Jet (Access) to SQLite. Regarding database support, Pure Basic's database support is excellent and quite functional.
I quickly replaced VB6 events with procedure calls in the event loop. Pure Basic was a pleasant surprise for me. ġ) The gadgets are too limited to make it a good choice for desktop apps.Ģ) The outdated WebGadget limits your ability to work around 1.ģ) The lack of TLS limits PB's use for application servers (which is how I like to implement most projects these days).Ĥ) The RunProgram() with #PB_PROGRAM_WRITE bug.
Having said that there are deficiencies that mean I can't always use PB when I'd really like to. I even hate the name 'Xojo', to me it sounds like baby-talk, they may as well have named it 'Goo-goo'. There were really two things that made me move on from realStudio (Xojo):ġ) The rather nice realStudio IDE being replaced by the Xojo stinker.Ģ) Einhugur's announcement their StyleGrid would never be available as 64bit. I had a large project I'd created in realStudio but even that had a helper app written in PB that did some of the heavy lifting in the background. PB, while maybe not as capable as XOJO, is *so* much faster.
