  If you have linux or windows, you can try freebasic. I believe it has a qbasic compatibility mode. Source: over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What are your opinions on modern BASIC dialects?

  Have you looked at https://freebasic.net/ and https://www.qb64.org/portal/ ? It's been ages since I actually wrote code in BASIC, but there do appear to be nice open-source options in the modern world. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Seed7 version 2023-03-05 released on GitHub and SF

  The program bas7.sd7 has been improved to use fixLen[(in_integer)fixLen(in_integer)]) sub-strings. Source: about 2 years ago

• EndBASIC

  Years ago I created my own BASIC interpreter (Bas7) which is compatible to GW-BASIC and other old BASIC dialects. Over the years I did some improvements but I don't update Bas7 on a regular base because I concentrate all my energy on improving Seed7. Source: almost 3 years ago

• S.P.A.D.E: A QBASIC like Terminal IDE and programming language made in Haskell.

  From the headline I expected some BASIC interpreter like Bas7. AFAICS this is not the case. It seems to be a language of its own + IDE. To some extent every new language is competition to the Seed7 programming language. :-). Source: about 3 years ago

• Seed7 version 2021-10-09 released on GitHub and SF

  To demonstrate the possibilities of Seed7, I programmed the Unix utilities tar, ftp and make with it. I also implemented a ftp server, an http(s) server and a BASIC interpreter in Seed7. Various other Seed7 programs can be found here. Source: over 3 years ago

• Seed7 version 2021-10-09 released on GitHub and SF

  The bas7.sd7 (basic interpreter) example program has been improved. Now, it is possible to do a string multiplication with the * operator. E.g.: "ha"*3 results in "hahaha" and "ab"*2+"xy"*3 results in "ababxyxyxy". Now, the RPT$ function is checked for a negative factor. Source: over 3 years ago
