If you would like to beta test please click on the link in my sig and follow the instructions, but since you all here know C++ better and our syntax is similar please also post something you have coded. Thanks. Hurry we only have 48 spots out of 50 left!

I went to your site and really could not find much info on sharb basic, what is it? is it like a DarkBasic or a blitzbasic?

I''ll post some links, but it is a basic language that me and deranged are making that uses Opengl 2d/3d/ Cross Plat/ Sockets/ sdl/ 3d sound/ math lib/ simple syntax/ oop/ TGA BMP PSD png loading. Not all will be in first beta testing versions though. It has a C++ style syntax. Here is a sample on making a opengl triangle:

Global width = 800 Global height = 600 Global depth = 32 SetGfx(width,height,depth,0) MainLoop() < glGraphics(0) //sets 2d graphics uses gluperspective for 3d and ortho for 2d glTriangles < glVertex2(0,0) glVertex2(3,0) glVertex2(3,3) > >My Homepage | My Forums Please Register | Google | Sharp Basic - Coming summer 2004!

This is all just IMO.
Using < and > for brackets "just because" is not a good enough reason, it defies convention, making the transition more difficult, and also seems as if it would be irritating having the same symbol for a comparison operator and a scope delimiter.
Also, does the language run via a VM? or is it compiled?

Using <> in place of {} makes that code look extremely ugly IMO, if your going for C++ style syntax then why not use curly braces if your planning on your target audience coming from a C++ background as it will make the transition easier.

We can still change, but we just like that better for now and plus you can''t get () and {} mixed up :D 
we might change though. I mean it''s still in development so ya know.

What if you have code like this though?
The ambiguities are confusing - what is this? A less than symbol, or a brace? Would make it harder to debug code.
if ((int a = 1)< 2 ... ... ... && a = 2>) The ambiguities are confusing - what is this? A less than symbol, or a brace? Would make it harder to debug code.
You might want to consider changing the name to avoid confusion with the BASIC language available on various computers made by the Sharp Corporation.
