Comment Comment by GedByrne Basic is still alive and well, providing a simple programming environment for beginners.It has returned to being a hobbyist scene, just like in the 80s. Basic compilers are written by hobbyists for hobbyists.For native applications my favourite is PureBasic: http://www.purebasic.com/It's a nice variant that compiles to a tiny, dependency free executables for Windows, Linux and OSX.It also provides a nice gateway to the underlying assembler. http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/reference/inlinedasm....It also has an online version called Spider Basic that compiles to JavaScript: http://www.spiderbasic.com/ parent GedByrne 11 years ago
