I meant that UEFI doesn't have a BASIC interpreter (though probably someone has written one).
I did not know that bootOS had one, but it does not surprise me given everything else I read on this thread.

You wrote something else: > Yes, BootOS very much in the same space as MS-DOS, although leaning even further on the "less-is-more" axis. It does the same basic things (though I suppose it doesn't do the BASIC thing).
- devnulloverflow 7y agoYah, sorry about that. I replied before checking my memory of what I had written. I thought I caught the error and deleted the erroneous response in time. But I didn't.
- kragen 7y agoWell, bootBASIC isn't included in the boot sector; it's a separate 512-byte program that can be loaded from the boot sector or by BootOS.
