I'm In This Photo and I Don't Like It.
Wrote a basic interpreter in C/Wasm last year. Finished it, but in the end never posted it anywhere. While I started my dev journey with Basic as a child, I was quickly reminded why I moved to C as soon as I learned about it. Basic is just not particular useful and has a lot of funny behavior or missing parts for any serious project. I still enjoy C, sometimes ASM, but not basic anymore.

super interesting! wonder how hard it would be to make this a target for haxe, which has already solved a lot of the issues around designing a good cross-target language.
