Non-starter. BASIC fans are hobbyists and won’t pay $35 a month. Professional devs already have better tools and won’t touch it.

- anta40 3y agoFreeBASIC is excellent and in general your good old QB codes should run on modern OSes. No official MacOS support, though. Only Windows, Linux, and DOS.
- Frenchgeek 3y agoThere's also Gambas for the almost VB needs.

- 7thaccount 3y agoPowerbasic is $175/year for everything I think. Purebasic is like $79 for life.
- lockhouse 3y agoLooks like there's a free community edition that is mostly feature complete other than only supporting unoptimized 32-bit Windows builds. That should be plenty for a hobbyist to get started. I haven't tested it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the output binaries worked under Wine as well. https://twinbasic.com/preorder.html https://twinbasic.com/preorder.html
- zem 3y agohobbyists would likely use something like gambas, where they don't need the 100% vb6 compatibility. this seems more targeted to businesses who want actual vb6 code to run.
