I'm so sorry for the loss of Mark Sibly. Back in the early 2000s Blitz and GLBasic had some race for the best(c)(tm) BASIC, but when I came from the C64 to the Amiga, I quickly started programming in Blitz BASIC and Mark was a true genius. Way, way smarter than me. A fully featured IDE with a BASIC compiler, that performed really well on an early 16 bit machine. Outstanding.
I never had a real conversation with him. Maybe I should have mailed him once. I'm sorry I didn't.
Maybe that should remind me to start caring about people, who still live while they are. Let's hope he found peace.

Indeed sad news, Blitz tools were quite popular in their prime time, and had strong fanbase on Amiga.

All The Best for the New Year!

Yes and it's all the more sad that he had started a new update of Blitz 3D, proof that his head was fine, it's the body that didn't follow :(
You're right he was a genius, besides I think that Gernot was inspired by his work for GLBasic because there are similarities. Talent meets talent.

Merry Christmas to you Qedo and to all  :)

A thought for Mark Sibly, the creator of BlitzBasic and so many other things, whose death I have just learned, it is a great loss for the world of programming and creation  :(
