PureBasic

feel the pure power

PureBasic is a modern BASIC programming language. The key features of PureBasic are portability (Windows, Linux, OS X and Raspberry supported with the same source code), the production of very fast and optimized native 32-bit or 64-bit executables and, of course, the very simple BASIC language syntax. PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. We have put a lot of effort into its conception to produce a fast, reliable system and friendly BASIC compiler. The full documentation can be found here.

Despite its beginner-friendly syntax, the possibilities are endless with PureBasic's advanced features such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. Experienced coders will have no problem gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects and PureBasic even allows inline assembly.


Modern

State of the art built-in commandset to quickly build any application or game. IDE includes sophisticated debugger, profiler, form designer and lightning fast compilation.

Easy

Using PureBasic is no brainer: you install the program, run the IDE and start developing your application. Generates small 32-bit or 64-bit executables similar to C/C++ programs without DLL dependencies.

Portable

Available on Windows, Linux, OS X and Raspberry. The source code is compatiable across these platforms and the generated programs use native API to have maximum performance and integration.
