Open-source, free, multi-platform BASIC compiler, with syntax similar MS-QuickBASIC (including the GFX statements), that adds new features such as pointers, unsigned data types, inline assembly, a pre-processor and many others.
It's the ease of use of the old Microsoft QBasic and QuickBasic with the modernity and power of today's compilers. A very good first (and I would say also a very good /only/) language to learn and use.
Very simple, even a caveman can learn :)
FreeBASIC is versatile enough for professional use, yet friendly enough to teach children. Every compiler should strive to be this fun and user friendly. Hobbyists and professionals alike will enjoy it.
