Lemick Basic / News: Recent posts

Lemick is a programming language with BASIC syntax, it's a typed and a compiled language, its source is compiled into a platform-independent virtual machine assembler that is later transformed into a platform-dependent representation by the just-in-time compiler.
This release adds a number bugfixes to the compiler and additions to the run-time. It also fixes severe packaging problems that made it very hard to build Lemick from sources in the previous release. Pre-built binaries for Linux-i386 and Win32 are avalaible in this release.

This version includes complete support for virtual methods, property get/set routines, safe run-time type casting, built-in classes (string operations, local threads and others) and more robust packages handling. Just-in-time compiler became approx. 20% faster and includes a number of new virtual machine instructions, like co-routines call and type casting. And also a great number of bug fixes and various minor changes to compiler and run-time.... read more

New version is almost a complete rewrite since 0.4.1. It is based on the new virtual machine and uses Just-In-Time compiler for better performance.

This experimental release of Lemick Basic has support for distributed programming. This version can allocate threads not only locally but also on remote system connected via ip network.

Much more stable. A lot of bugs fixed. From this point it could be used for testing on unices.

Added various operations with arrays. See changelog for more

A week ago I have started working on bytecode compiler + interpreter for LB. Now it has a limited of operators and few buil-in functions. It even supports simple subroutines.
I was amused that at some test it runs 2 or 3 times faster then php and is almost as fast as perl.
