QBasic on FreeDOS running in an emulator on a RaspberryPi?
- hakfoo 8y agoI think RiscOS includes a pretty robust BASIC, and then you avoid the emulation overhead. Qbasic is also a sort of weird situation-- modern in some ways, but sometimes feature and resource limited compared to other BASICs. It was a defeatured QuickBasic that they sort of expected users to graduate to the full product.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoYou sure you couldn't squeeze a few more layers of abstraction on there?
- ohithereyou 8y agoQBasic on FreeDOS running in a Raspberry Pi emulator in a Docker container over VNC on Kubernets running on Amazon EKS in several availability zones for five nines of abstraction nostalgia goodness.
- benj111 8y agoYou could have freedos run on a virtual machine? And emulate the raspi in the cloud, but that would be being silly.
