As an experienced user, it is just a 'switch' you have to make in your head. But it requires very little explanation and anyone new to programming can read it and understand it. B4X uses Composition, which does you to get used to if you've been using Inheritance in other languages. He does not want to be 'yet another copy' of some other language, and for novice programmers, those concepts may be way over their head and even make them hesitant to start using the language. I do sometimes miss some things like Interfaces or Inheritance too, but the decisions Erel made are there for a reason. Erel had made some unique language introductions (the WaitFor construct! ) that makes it sometimes somewhat harder to compare directly with another language.
NET and nowadays JavaScript 'dim -> var'), B4X is a language on its own, and its path is very clear and well though of (no breaking code for the sake of 'change' here). Unlike Xojo, which changes syntax appearance every few releases (sometimes they think they are Basic, the next one. Especially one with an exotic language like Xojo (which is probably unknown to 99.999% of programmers).
In his unique way, he is pointing out that indeed such a list does not exist.
He is one of the oldest members here, and is most respected. Really, you both have those things in common. This kind of bad 'vibe' has given many (me and probably yourself included) experienced users the final push to leave Xojo and look out for something is sometimes very direct and has (if I may say so, LucaMs) sometimes a weird kind of humor. themself for a couple of years on their forum, but let me assure you, no one on this forum is, so there is no reason to start using it here. I know 'troll' is probably word of the year introduced by Xojo Inc. Unlike Xojo, we do not do name calling here. However, let me say, none of this is applicable to B4X. We both had bad experiences with Xojo, their forum and their rigid management, so I understand your defensive reaction, believe me. You may know me (Alain Bailleul, Alwaysbusy) from the Xojo and ifNotNil forums.
