QB Phoenix Edition name?

[Fifi]

I don't have the patience to filibuster like SMcNeill does, but it seems like the recent and proposed updates to the PE compiler are comprised of (i) things that the old Team cautioned against, and finally they're gone, so SMcNeill can have fun, and (ii) creating change just for its own sake, simply to be different from QB64 legacy as fast as possible. If QB64 "moves forward", then I should look forward to using it on more devices, in cleverer ways, with more capacity to expand. This comment extends years backwards too: the Team was really just dancing around what Galleon handed them. All vertical movement with QB64 was done by Galleon, anything recent is horizontal. In fact, any improvement people keep making just further crystalize, further snuggle into the same rut. Micro optimization unto death. Grassroots spinoffs have a real shot at breaking the spaghetti ceiling.

BASIC will move forward in the browser, on mobile. The desktop is more of a specialized hobby tool, time to catch up.

QB64 by itself is dead and I bet will never be back due the lack of devs perfectly knowing its "so well documented" internals.

BTW, QBPE could very easily become a web server side compiled language (as a matter of fact without any modification) Vs any new slow and heavy pseudo interpreted BASIC language integrated in the browser "à la Java".

Last point: thanks to SMcNeill and his gang, QBPE with its makefile faces a more recent, concise and modern development approach and culture than the old QB64 spaghetti compilation mode  (e.g. I removed 94 of 155 lines of my new multi lingual installation script).

With regard to the name, I too vote for QBPE Vs QB64PE just because is shorter.

Cheers.
