There's similar projects like QB64 and L-Basic. I have to wonder if keeping language variants alive will be of historic significance hundreds of years from now.

There's similar projects like QB64 and L-Basic. I have to wonder if keeping language variants alive will be of historic significance hundreds of years from now. Will anyone care about early computing to this extent?
- fuzztester 2y agoThere are quite a few other BASICs. FreeBASIC, PureBASIC, etc. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BASIC_programming_language_family https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BASIC_programming_l... and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BASIC_interpreters https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BASIC_interpreters Some will be obsolete, of course.
