Gambas is an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language, and an integrated development environment that accompanies it. Designed to run on Linux and other Unix-like computer operating systems, its name is a recursive acronym for Gambas Almost Means BASIC. Gambas is also the word for prawns in the Spanish, French, and Portuguese languages, from which the project's logos are derived.
