rwaliany will become famous soon enough
I think it's java...anyone look up parallax's latest projects...the javalin stamp...the basic stamp...I don't think it would be too much work to replace pbasic with java by switching stamps from the same company. Likewise, I would think parallax would be pressuring IFI to be using the javalin stamp to promote sales and usage. The AP Compsci switched from C++ to Java. Will everyone taking AP Compsci right now not be familiar with java by the time it is released? In addition, Java is more practical than PBASIC pertaining to the real world. No one cares that someone programmed in PBASIC but atleast with java you earn some respect. Java is also cross-platform, I would think if they move to Java they would also support a cross-platform pbasic editor written in java..

I prefer C++, but I'd still want java over pbasic anyday.
