Hey, I got a credit! Diabolo is one of the more interesting BASIC compilers. It really does issue exceptionally fast code compared to others if you can make it work with the constrained subset it supports. It's about two or three times slower than handwritten assembly code, which considering it has barely token optimization passes (not really a thing on home computers in the 1980s) is notable.
