Three separate links in the sentence “…mess around with it on OS X, Windows, and Linux” when he could have used just one: Xojo’s.
Oh there are many interessting solutions
Xojo
LiveCode
Jabaco
Purebasic
Basic4Android
Basic is a great language. I can’t understand why many developers talking bad about Basic. The Basic from today is not the same basic of the last millenium. With Basic and in general with Xojo we get things done, instead of talking endlessly or having more problems with the used programming language as with the problem that should be solved.
You are right Dave, LiveCode isn’t basic. It is part of my observation list, so it landed here unfortunately.
