Gnome Basic (GB) was a software project whose goal was to provide Visual Basic compatible functionality for the GNOME project. Compatible functionality with Microsoft Office's Visual Basic for Applications was considered especially important.
The project has since been discontinued, and apparently never went beyond the development stage. The Mono project, which implements VB.NET, largely supersedes it.
Famous quotes containing the word basic:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
