Highlights include a steady dose of bug fixes and and a brief recap of twinBASIC's standing in slant.co's list of "best BASIC-like programming languages."

I found this interesting:-

Amusingly, twinBASIC currently has more recommendations (25) than Visual Basic .NET (23), though I think it's safe to say that says more about the popularity of slant.co than the relative popularity between twinBASIC and VB.NET 😂.

TwinBASIC should surpass VB.Net in popularity in general I expect. Microsoft is done with VB.Net so it hasn't seen major updates in years now I believe.

When TwinBASIC gets support for lambda expressions, delegates, type inference, and first class multi-threading(No need to import things like CreateThread), I would confidently recommend it as a worthy stand-in for VB.Net. It's already pretty worthy with support for generics which allows you to do a lot of interesting things. Also, things like Async/Await and reflection would also be attractive to VB.Net programmers.

C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

There's just no reason to use garbage like InputBox. - jmcilhinney

The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber
