No objects and GC so far. I guess local variables are stored on the stack and for everything on the heap (globals, strings) the transpiler maps MSIL loads and stores to 6502 loads and stores.
Honestly any interactive shell + unix tools + any scripting language you feel comfortable with should cover the majority of things you may want to do on the command line.
Not exactly BASIC per se, there was some CP/M like additions. However, you're right 'cause some of those commands are BASIC extension (e.g. RUN can be used from your programme, LIST maybe, but CATalog/DIRectory or LOAD often not.) Old good time.
Message to the person responsible for the site: they should use code blocks instead of images for their code. I say this because I can't read the text inside the images from mobile. It's way too small.
I need to revise those, and images seemed like the way to get colorization right. I'll try to figure out how to do it with code blocks, it will hopefully be more maintainable. Cutting/pasting images is ridiculous.
Thank you for all the suggestions for code formatting/colorizing. The problem is that I'm hosting on wix. Posting images sucks, as already pointed out. How do I get formatted, console-like text on wix? I'm not seeing how these tools solve that problem.
I also read it a few days ago and for me it was very underwhelming. A disappointment for me was that Tolstoi was always looking for some perfection or regularity that would explain everything. It is arrogant of us to think that there should be something when as far as we can see there is only all that has ever been and nothing more. But I think there was a hidden theme there, which is something that many people who have read Nietzsche but also positive nihilists agree with: we give meaning to life. This was what Tolstoi found in tradition. A meaning that had been passed to new generations, evolving bit by bit but retaining it's essence. Only he couldn't stand that God was so ingrained in it.
