What is XBLite?
XBLite is a concise, simple, powerful, Windows programming language which combines the speed of C with the ease of a modern BASIC syntax. The XBLite compiler is free, open-source, and published under GPL and LGPL licenses.
XBLite is a procedural programming language similar to C, Pascal, Fortran, and Ada. With XBLite, programmers can write code in a structured, sequential manner using functions and procedures, which can be easily understood and reused, making it ideal for tasks requiring clear step-by-step execution and efficient code optimization.
What are the key benefits of using XBLite?
Easy to learn - The linear structure makes it relatively simple to understand the flow of a program, especially for beginners.
Efficient for simple tasks - XBLite excels at performing well-defined, step-by-step operations, leading to optimized code for specific tasks.
Code reusability - Functions and procedures can be defined once and called multiple times throughout the program, reducing redundancy.
Inline assembly instructions - Advanced programmers can use GoASM assembly language directly from within XBLite to execute customized code.
Create small executable files - XBLite can compile small, compact executable programs which do not require external libraries.
What do reviewers say about XBLite?
"XBLite is an easy-to-use, extremely flexible and powerful programming language, appropriate for both the quick utility and the major project. Of all the Open Source programming languages, none come close to XBLite." --Rick--
"I use the XBLite compiler due to its similarities to C, but without the complications of memory management. It is simple to learn, yet ideally suited for beginners, students, and programming professionals alike." --Michael--
"I originally downloaded XBLite because it was free and I've been using XBLite for all my major projects ever since. What I really like about XBLite is the comprehensive CHM help file and demo programs. What other free BASIC compiler has a help file with over 400 topics and over 200 demo programs." --Chip--
