Re: Yeah, Lassie go home. 'I’m not touching QB64 until is see it finalized.' Well...

FB not finalized? Learn C because FB will never be finalized?

Actually, FB is currently approximately equal to C, with few exceptions. The preprocessor is pretty much as powerful as that of C, and pretty much every coding or data structure that exists in C exists in FB too. FB is continually changing, becoming better - for example, now we have OOP features, something C does not have. We're not equal to C++ (inheritance and virtualization aren't implemented yet, for example) but we're certainly at or above C, and pretty much any C header can be converted to FB.

So FB as a language can be considered "finished" although it will certainly have more features added to it. The compiler is far from finished though, as we want to have it as a C front-end, plus optimization would always be nice. Probably in 5 years it will have all that and more, but I don't know that FB will ever really be "finished" - there's always nice things to add to it.
