REALbasic To Add Linux support

__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."

Uhm, or someone was being sarcastic? Jeez, don't they teach you USians basic language skills at school?

Though this may sound to many like a Good Thing -- having an easy development environment for beginning Linux programmers -- to me, at least, Re--B---c is the name of evil. One need only look to PerversionTracker -- a parody of the popular VersionTracker web site -- to see some of the obscenities that R---B---c has spawned on OS X. I can only imagine what horrible interfaces we'll start seeing on some new Linux apps.

If candy rots the teeth, BASIC rots the brain. And R---B---c has BASIC as its roots...
