Do people still code in BASIC?

I would hope kids are still spending their lunch and study hall breaks goofing off with the TI 83+ calculators.

Otherwise, school systems handing out locked-down ipads is far worse indoctrination than any amount of LGBT literature and college level CRT courses have ever been.

Hell, if were up to me, kids would be given free Raspberry Pis and taught to use them.

TI 83+ was the new kid on the block back in the 00s.

qBasic not basic :csgoanarchist:

Fancy stuff.

[aka]

QB compiles to IR. I have used it to make security networks dependent on Python visually flawed, and manipulated their admins like dirt.

QB64 can compile native binaries for most OSs, and it retains compatibility with QBasic and QuickBasic 4.5 code, while adding modern crap like OpenGL1. So, basically, you can write programs in a DOS basic emulation environment and then run them on macOS.

If you fall in love with yourself on IG, make sure it's a pixel, or at least make sure Handoff is not enabled. And if it is, make sure you don't walk through an office building with other Apple users, because it empowers intelligent people way too much. It should be illegal, but then so should a lot of things you people do.

That's a lot of fancy talk too :'(

you can make ANYTHING in basic, just like you can make anything in rust, c++, etc it'll just be more difficult

Um no you can't. It's a very high-level language. Which sounds like a good thing, but as for computer programming, it is not. It is also very slow.

I remember seeing a youtube video where someone made an 3D engine with Quick Basic to explain how early first person shooters engine like wolfenstein 3D and Doom work.

I have doubts.
