I chose ANSCA Corona over Objective-C and Cocoa Touch for iOS development.

Looks like I'll choose Objective-Basic over Objective-C & Cocoa for Mac OS X development.

What advantage do you get by using Objective-Basic?
You have to use it a similar manner as Objective-C, so why not Objective-C?

Plus in Obj-C you can create elements via Code and have a good Project manager in XCode, Obj-Basic is good but lacks in these areas.

I have been an Enterprise Basic developer, I would love to use *Basic* but.. I find that Obj-Basic is as much work as Obj-C is.

I just took it for granted that it'd be "Corona-like" for developing Mac apps: 10 times faster and 5 times easier than Obj-C. If Objective=Basic is as much work as Objective-C than I'll stick with Objective-C.

Hi TokyoDan,
That was my impression, I thought you had a reason and did try it out earlier. I found it a lot of work, the IDE is kind of incomplete, I felt that the interface was too cluttered and there were times when browsing the examples, I wasn't sure on what's happening, where is the code to do that, but couldn't find it.

Anyone given it a try? or has comments?

cheers,

Some times (often) when I get excited, I put my typing fingers in gear before I engage my brain. I've been thinking of making a new avatar for myself... a guy with his foot in his mouth and his head up his ass.

But I imagine such an avatar would be damn hard to design.
