I have used QB64 successfully in the past, to recompile old hobby projects from my teens. Good times...
However, the current QB64.org page looks like AI generated domain parking. It still has a few screenshots where you can maybe see the QB64 uit (?) . But overall it seems to contain meaningless 'believable' ads for courses on programming topics.
So either AI generated bullshit or 'consultants' trying to make a buck from an old/abandoned open source project.
I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Usefulness, joy.
I think modern BASIC and Pascal environments strike a reasonably good balance where you can write non-industrial programs where you can ignore all the “engineering” and “bureaucratic” processes that support building larger scale systems with many contributors and focus on getting something done or have some fun.
It would have been very helpful if the list had been categorized in some way --- some potential divisions which would have helped my looking for a project:
- platform --- esp. SBCs such as the Raspberry Pi
- licensing --- opensource/free/commercial
- text mode/graphical IDE (note that there is a short list of IDEs at the bottom)/GUI development
