I’ve looked at Swift, Objective C and C++ in the past and have too ruled them out as too difficult for me to learn right now (or maybe I just have no desire to learn them). After many years in VB and Xojo my mind writes that code reasonably easily and I found the syntax of Swift/Obj-C/C++ quite different.
B4X is certainly interesting and Erel is really responsive. My only problem with it is I’m used to GTK apps with Headerbars etc which I couldn’t see in B4X and certainly wouldn’t expect Erel to add all of that for me. I’m staying with B4X for iOS and Android (and maybe Web) it’s an amazing tool!
