Just BASIC 1.0 Beta 2 Released

Posted by timothy on from the free-is-good dept.

Xampper writes "Just BASIC beta candidate 2 has just been released, and can be found at the JB website. The programming language is based on the popular Liberty BASIC language, and is a slightly watered down, but free, version. Standalone executables can be made, and the language is easy to grasp, especially for beginners." (Note, this is a Windows-specific language.)

    ...there's nothing better than a good combination of the modern programming languages in a single project, let's say...
    A technically advanced BASIC console app with an supremely elegant and incredibly fast VisualCOBOL GUI warper attached to it?

    I learned how to code 6502 assembler at school. It's a bit weird now I come to think of it, but I did. Never did me any harm. Didn't help, though.

    so just leave it for teaching. It has been said that they shipped BASIC with DOS because that was the only langauge that Bill Gates understood...
