Gambas is an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language as well as the integrated development environment that accompanies it.
Installation
There are currently two versions of Gambas: Gambas 3 and the older Gambas 2.
Gambas 3
Gambas 3 is the latest version of the language, and is distinct from earlier versions of Gambas although most projects can be converted and ran on the latest version.
To install the latest stable version of Gambas 3, install the gambas3 package from the official repositories. Development versions can be grabbed by installing the gambas3-svnAUR package from the AUR.
