I saw this advertisment in a MacAddict magazine about Realbasic. It said that the code is the same for programs on Mac and PC, is easy to use and they offer a free demo.
Is this language worth learning?

No. Learn Haskell instead. (Not kidding)
Of course, feel free to ignore me and listen to the people here who have never been instructors for computer science courses if you want to. ;P

;I'm mystified at the moment by functional programming languages. You can write an algorithm in haskell so concisely that it seems like you're not even really writing an algorithm, you're just telling it what you want and it invents one.
what I want to know is, how far does this go?
could you stumble across a really hard problem that you can't figure out how to solve, and instead just write it in haskell and be done with it? if not, why not?
thanks.
