REALbasic To Add Linux support

Posted by timothy on from the awoogah-awooooogah dept.

__past__ writes "REAL software just announced that the next version of their REALbasic IDE will add support for building native Linux applications, in addition to the Windows, Mac OS classic and OS X targets. Given that it will include a converter for existing Visual Basic projects, this could be a usefull tool for migrating existing apps written in everybody's favourite language to free platforms, something that other projects like Gambas or KBasic don't address."

      I think that's meant to be sarcastic, though I've seen figures that indicate it is the most popular language in the world.

      I thought that was Chinese.
