The 24th most popular language/framework on Windows
PureBasic is an event-driven BASIC programming language for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and AmigaOS, developed by Fantaisie Software. Programs written in PureBasic compile directly to the IA-32, 680x0 and PowerPC instruction sets, generating small standalone executables and DLLs. If OS specific APIs are not used, all supported targets can be built from the same source file with little or no modification. PureBasic executables are compiled instead of interpreted and require no runtime libraries be installed on the end-user's computer (avoiding DLL Hell). PureBasic also runs on all 32 bits Windows versions (Windows NT, Windows 95, and later). PureBasic supports inline assembly, allowing the developer to include FASM assembler commands directly within the PureBasic source code, while using the variables declared in PureBasic source code. Experienced programmers can thus improve the speed of time-critical sections of their code. PureBasic has an extensive set of over 800 commands and direct access to many OS API calls. General Libraries 2D Drawing, CDAudio, Cipher, Clipboard, Console, Database, Date, Desktop, File, FileSystem, Font, Gadget, Help, Image, ImagePlugin, Library, Linked List, Math, Memory, Menu, Misc, Movie, Network, OnError, Packer, Preference, Process, Printer, Requester, Sort, StatusBar, String, SysTray, Thread, Toolbar, Window 2D Games Libraries Joystick, Keyboard, Module, Mouse, Palette, Sprite & Screen, Sprite3D, Sound, SoundPlugin 3D Games Libraries Engine3D, Billboard, Camera, Entity, Light, Material, Mesh, Particle, Terrain, Texture… More Edit

I don't do a lot of programming so I have no need for a "suite" of languages. I took a VB course in school and thought programming was OK but VB wasn't for me. After a fairly comprehensive search and investigation, I settled on PureBasic and am very glad I did. It does everything I need and produces very compact, fast executables.
It may not be for everyone and there are a few things I wish were better supported or available, e.g. skinning, but for a buy-once-use-for-life language (all upgrades included FOREVER) you'll be hard pressed to find something better and easier to use.
Free updates for life. Creates very small executables. If your a programmer then buy it!
Simply the best, easiest and most complete programming language based on the old Basic rules I've ever seen and used. Highly recommended for new programmers or for experienced programmers.
