Introducing a novel high-level programming language, developed on the foundation of time-honored BASIC principles.
PureBasic is a fantastic programming language that is perfect for both beginner and experienced programmers. Based on established BASIC rules, it bears a striking resemblance to other BASIC compilers you may have used previously, whether for the Amiga or PC. This makes learning PureBasic incredibly easy and intuitive, while still providing advanced features such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists, and much more.
One of the standout features of PureBasic is its fast compilation time. This is due to the significant effort that has gone into creating a fast and reliable system-friendly language. With PureBasic, you will be able to quickly and efficiently write code for a wide range of projects.
In terms of portability, PureBasic is an excellent choice. This programming language currently works on AmigaOS (680x0 and PowerPC), Linux, MacOS X (PowerPC), and Windows computer systems. This means that you can easily compile the same code natively on any of these systems, without the bottlenecks typically associated with virtual machines or code translators. The external libraries are primarily written in hand-optimized assembler, which produces fast commands that are often faster than the C/C++ equivalent.
The installation process for PureBasic is straightforward and can be completed by following a few simple steps. First, use 'su -' to get a root shell (if it hasn't been done already). Then, copy the 'purebasic/Compilers/pbcompiler' file into /usr/bin/ or any other directory in the PATH. Next, move the whole 'purebasic' directory into /usr/share/. If you prefer, you can set the $PUREBASIC_HOME environment variable to your installation path instead of putting the purebasic drawer in /usr/share. Finally, copy 'fasm' into your path (fasm v1.45 at least) and type '# pbcompiler' to test your installation.
Overall, PureBasic is a top-tier programming language that is well worth your time and investment. It offers an excellent combination of simplicity and power that is ideal for a wide range of programming projects, making it a valuable asset to have in your toolkit.
