How does Panoramas programming language compare with other languages like C, Basic, etc.?
If you have used Basic, C, Pascal or JavaScript you should quickly be comfortable with Panorama’s built in programming language. Of these languages Panorama is probably closest to Basic, but it incorporates ideas from a number of sources. Panorama’s programming language is tightly integrated with the database. You’ll find dozens of statements for manipulating database information, as well as user interface elements like windows, menus and dialogs. One thing you’ll immediately notice about Panorama’s programming language is that it is very free format. Unlike C and Pascal it does not require a separator semicolon (or any other character) between statements. Unlike most Basic implementations it allows multiple statements per line, and it also allows a statement to be split across multiple lines (as long as you don’t split a token in the middle). For example you can put three statements on one line, like this: statement1 statement2 statement3 Like Basic, Panorama’s programming language do
