OmniBasic is a language which combines the clarity of basic with the power and utility of C. OmniBasic is the only BASIC compiler powerful enough to be used to write a commercial compiler. OmniBasic is written in itself! The entire spectrum of aplications can be developed using OmniBasic because of the simplicity of the language, the power of the rapid application development environment and the speed of the finished code.

OmniBasic goes back to the basics of code generation. The developers of OmniBasic go back to when 32k of memory was all you had to work with and 8 Mhz was fast. Code back then was compact and fast out of necessity. With the advent of faster processors and more memory, programming requirements were less critical in general and many programming languages were able to add bells and whistles to improve convenience at the price of size and speed.

The OmniBasic compiler, integrated development environment (IDE), and any program written and compiled by OmniBasic are portable to any of the listed platforms

This means, for example, that an OmniBasic program written and compiled on a Windows98 system can be sent to a Linux system and recompiled with NO CHANGE whatsoever. The program will then run on either system and behave and appear identically in each case.

OmniBasic is designed to cover a broad array of applications. Applications that are machine or system based typically are written in a console environment. Programs that are user interfaces rely upon graphical screens to operate in the Windows or Unix-based environments.
