In software development, Gambas is an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language, along with an integrated development environment to accompany it, which runs on Linux and other Unix-like computer operating systems. It is intended to provide a similar experience for developing BASIC programs to Visual Basic. Gambas is intended to be an alternative for former Visual Basic developers who have decided to migrate to Linux. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Differences to Visual Basic While Gambas is intended to be easy to transition to from Visual Basic, there are important distinctions between the two languages. One notable example is that Gambas indexes arrays starting with 0 (0..n-1), whereas Visual Basic indexes can start with 0 or 1 and always end with n.
