Just kidding, maybe call it KBasic since your name is Sergey K?

Quite Basic?
Very Basic?

GoBasic sounds good to me, however you can try Gogabasic, makes sense in my opinion.

I like GoBASIC and GogaBASIC myself
(Don't forget that BASIC is an acronym though, so it should be capitalised really )

If you're worried about GoBasic then GogaBasic makes more sense, particularly with the names of your other tools.

GoGetBaX haha nice one ben!

anyways, so far so good with GoBasic!
for example, i wrote a code:

so 1st of all, i need to sort it in a way so it will be easyer to read out of it.
so unlike dbp, there is a Command Table compiled into the plugin wich shows you the command line + the way to use it eg;
"GS GetMaxLines[%LL%THMaxLine%(Result as INTEGER) MemoryNum as INTEGER"
so i came up with my own format for that one. its unlike dbp, you wont need to compile it into the plugin it self at all. it will be your keywords file + command Table in same time!

the command table format will be something like:
My Command Name:MyCmdNameInDll:Return[Cmd=String]:Input[MyMsg=String;MyValue=Integer;MyOtherInput=Date]:HelpFile[http://www.google.com]

so basicly its translated to;
My Command Name = command that you type in your IDE
MyCmdNameInDll = is your function name inside dll (since u cant create functions with spaces)
Return = your function return command with values [Cmd as string]
Input = your input values, wich is dynamicly.
Help = help is your help website, or local site for your help files.

i hope the format is easy and understandable for everyone. and im open for suggestions

btw Ben; why you not entering to Skype anymore? did you changed the email address or something?

Um... BASIC?

Normally, one would complete (or somewhat complete) the work and then name it after one of its defining characteristics.

Call it VBBBASIC, or Very Basically Basic BASIC.

Or better yet, VB^3BASIC, which would be pronounced "vee-bee-cubed-basic"

Which better yet leads to cubeBASIC.

Which then leads to RBASIC, as R is the letter after Q. Therefore, ourBASIC, and possibly hourBASIC.

-second banana
-woodnote
-pea-souper
-devil theory
-gork
-flannelmouth
-katzenjammer
-wapper jaw
-ineffable
-pantywaist

(By the way, those are all valid English words)

hi,

I think Script Basic would be nice, now amateurs & indie devs and even big studios are "scripting", and AAA games includes lots of events that we call "scripts", I think the future is scripting, a way of doing things in a easier way than hard "coding", visual scripting, Script Basic or Basic Script, you can play with words: like "scriptor", or anything you find good...

bye

@ Serge Adjo

That would be OK as long as you're not misusing the word "script". Since Sergey's language is a compiled language rather than a parse-on-the-fly language, it isn't a scripting language.
