FreeBASIC - as the name suggests - is a completely free, open-source, 32-bit BASIC compiler, with the syntax the most compatible possible with MS-QuickBASIC, that adds new features such as pointers, unsigned data types, inline-assembly and many others.

^_^;; Probably the best new compiler out there, with enough potential to possibly replace the popular commercial BASIC's out there. I often prefer it over C, even O_O;
I hate C/++
Website URL: http://freebasic.net
While I prefer c++ because there is so much more code out there written in it, freebasic is nice because it requires less code for any one function, and the exe isn't that much slower than a c++ one.
i like this one, indeed i lve for it =)
32-bit and inline assembly isn't relevant anymore
Okay, it is relevant for OS-development, special hardware and making 4k demos that runs in emulators...
@Alexander:
No nowadays it isn't really relevant anymore but seeing as it's based on QuickBASIC, 32-bit and inline assembly is a huge improvement.
That is truth what you speak, it is an improvement.
