I decided to buy this one since i believe it is first commercial product for a long time (for me) which i think might be a worth of it's price tag. Pretty neat, hopefully there comes linux native soon.

I, too, think the package is worth the price, even if you only use it to build desktop applications, and never get anywhere near the web! With built-in XML parsing, and the included hands-free SQLite (with built-in Run BASIC commands for access and manipulation), you're good to go for any office or data applications. Lovely.

...add me to the list of happy campers! I can say without a hint of doubt that for me, the eventual release of Run BASIC was the most highly anticipated development tool that I kept track of in 2007.
I signed up as a beta tester as soon as the opportunity became available, but never got to be of much help due to health and family troubles. Hopefully I'll be able to get up to speed with it before too long.
Hummm... web apps, SQLite databases and BASIC all rolled up into a single package. Perfect!

And (I forgot to mention), graphics! Creating and rendering graphics in Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, AJAX or other is an exercise in schizophrenic external library incompatibilities, but it's built-in on Run BASIC. Defining characteristics don't get much more defining than that.
