basic - programming language of? yesterdays?
7th July 2025
Sorry guys, but I've got to vent something off my chest - does a basic programming language have a future? really? Does it? It seems most internet users these days use a mobile phone and/or a tablet rather than a PC, and those who do use a computer for*snip*

@Pixel_Outlaw: Blitz Basic is now open source so you can add that to your version that you can compile, or you can use FreeBasic, that is written in FreeBasic, and add that to that compiler.
I think it might be in that one already though.

You can transpile BASIC syntax to javascript and you will have first class functions for free, and also Class, etc.
This what I have tried before, but i have to stop if for some reason. I still want to try it someday.

I think there's still some room to go. (I really want first class functions with closures - language features going back to the 50s and 60s)
But BASIC has come a long way from unstructured messes inherited from the style we see with Dartmout*snip*

hi everyone...
Remember ICQ? MSN Messenger or YAHOO messenger back in the 1990s-2000s (now replaced by Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, and such), sure you do! Or I suppose we all do! Anyway, I thought about maybe I could code some sort of IM messenger, a dece*snip*

Welcome.
You chose a fairly good basic forum. There are some others that you would not believe are still stuck in the 1970s and 1980s.
Those are not moving the language forward, this one tries and does well, versus those others.

The general gist of the forums here is that''if people use it, then...''
So, sure, we can have a FreeBASIC, why not! I think a few people here have used it over the years. Fairly sure I have, I think, maybe..

MouseIsDown means the mouse is in down state.
There is an event to catch when you start pressing the mouse.

Neat set of functions, very much needed in the Javascript environment.
Any reason you've made it ''MouseIsDown'' instead of ''MouseDown''?

On my system, no, they're individual, but I have a script that chucks them all together into a giant ''comb.js'' with a little amount of minifying as it goes..
