We got listed and reviewed. It is a great web site that lists and review many many Basic languages.

Well it's nice being reviewed somewhere but when you read the other "reviews" and then read thinBAsic's review, you see that a lot stuff is missing everywhere. Also the author sometimes draws wrong conclusions (Like the history of OceanBasic).

Nice tB was reviewed :),
although I do not get much the C++ity of thinBASIC. Is it reference to types, maybe +=, ...?
I am quite used to those, although I never really coded in C++.
Thanks,
Petr

The way the review is worded seems very odd to me but its nice to see TB getting some press.
I thought it was a very interesting view of thinBasic. He picked up on things I never noticed. If you think about trying to describe a language in a short description yet making it valuable I think the site did a great job.
Have you guys ever looked at Rapid-Q, when I was discouraged by VBasic and before I settled on ibasic, I was impressed with it, but since it got abandoned I decided not to use it. I see that the developer of it went to RealBasic. So interesting info can be found on the site. For instance I never knew about Basic for Pascal compiler. Amazing what is out there.

Yeah, BasPas. Studied a long time ago. I think it isn't right that he put it up there for download at it is still available.
