I have been pleased for the most part with ppl(awesome software), but I have two things to say about why I probably would not buy it. First, unless you can get the visual form editor to work, that takes out one of the main reasons why I liked ppl. Not many software can make programs for the ppc AND have a visual control add-on.(nsbasic and forward pass being the other two I know of) Secondly, Event handling is almost too complex. It takes almost 5 lines of code to put out an event handler I can barely decipher. Most other languages I know of (nsbasic and forward pass included) take only 1-2 lines to initialize this. This is one reason I haven't really made anything good with it yet. Besides this, there is alot of good stuff in ppl. Addition of gameAPI and physics and assembly and nice interpreter and compiles to EXE and much more makes this seem very attractive. I also think the pricing system is pretty good, except there isn't a whole lot in the standard version I think there should be. I think EXE compile should be in standard because, unless you can show me something great, there is no way I'm going to pay $80 just to get the EXE compiling I'd like.(just my preference, I like all possible programming languages to convert my code to EXE or equivalent.)I know alot of this is my opinion, but also remember that I could also be a potential customer and would love to buy this if I can comfortably use this to be productive in my coding.
Thank you!
