Пока прогрессивная общественность ждала выхода офф. 3D-движка к BlitzMax (лично меня, кстати, вполне устраивает Blitz3D SDK), DSForth.NET (возможно, единственная реальная преспектива реинкарнировать Forth с учетом окружающей действительности), REBOL 3 (обещают вообще нечто, ну да поживем - увидим) и PureBASIC v4.3 (где Fred обещал наконец-то обновить встроенный OGRE), внезапно появились любопытные новости от Matthew: http://www.nuclearglory.com/php-bin/forums...rum_id=7&page=1
В приниципе, "скоро выпустить" Nuclear BASIC обещают уже давно, но вот теперь, когда вслед за достаточно вразумительными скриншотами и видео появилась более-менее четкая дата, лично я им уж почти поверила). Будем ждать.
