For everyone...
to avoid misunderstandings and misunderstandings I would like to reassure everyone, especially the creator of QB64 and those who have contributed and still contribute today to its improvement with so much commitment and passion, that I do not intend to irritate them or anyone else.
I have been using QB (QB4.5 and then all subsequent variants and before that more archaic languages, unfortunately without reaching such high skills as I see here and elsewhere) for decades now and I have a huge esteem for QB64.
I'm not enthusiastic about apparently more advanced languages (and sometimes they really are) that are on the net, even open source or even free and I don't want to learn new ones (now I'm a certain age...). I have always said - and I confirm it - that those communities of programmers are frequently closed to any novelty, do not allow replicas or modest criticism and newbies are arrogant and rude.
Not so with with the community of QB64 that I have always found kind and helpful (apart from maybe a couple of cases... after which QB64 split in two - not because of me, of course!), collaborative and open to dialogue. Even humble! Which is a great moral quality that surpasses all possible competences.
So, guys, good job! And thank you!
