possible programming challenge: a smart(er) IDE?
#34
He is aware, but sadly, I think he suffers from developers remorse. My take on it is that the larger a project gets, the more time consuming  and monopolizing it becomes. If you take time away, you have difficulty remembering where everything is, and to completely redo it in a different language necessitates completely learning the other language, and starting over. I think just thinking about that makes a person wish he had a crystal ball to do it the other way in the first place. So I get it, but I'm also in the camp who hopes he realizes what a great achievement QB64 was for a single developer to code. Do you know when Win-95 was released they had a small televised ceremony to thank all those who developed the platform? The curtain rolls back and there were over 150 coders and support personnel involved. It takes a lot of effort to code large projects, and apparently manpower. I still get a laugh when I see a newbie arrive on the seen who claims he's going to write a platform, like Windows, in QB64. Oh well, one can dream... but like I always say, "Dream smarter!" Some projects are just too big for any one individual.
