A miraculous project of great design, re-introduces BASIC as a "better C". Numerous libraries, very good ergonomics and balance in features.
-
The world's best BASIC compiler, it generates GNU GCC-compatible files and is compatible with libraries written in GNU GCC. It also uses the WIN32 API to write native Windows applications. There are two IDEs for writing code, one of which is visual, an excellent alternative to Visual BASIC.

Very good compiler. Cross-platform. Can make Windows DLL and Linux SO, without changes at all. Installed and configured in Windows with Geany editor.

FreeBASIC is a wonderful version of BASIC with excellent interoperability with C. The syntax is easy to learn and the compiler is easy to set up. I have set up FreeBASIC on four of my computers, 2 PC's running Win 11 and 2 PC's running Lubuntu. One, of course, has to be familiar with using the command line and setting up the PATH to the compiler. If one is looking for an easy to set up all-in-one solution for Windows with the compiler 'built-in', then look for WinFBE by Paul Squires on Github.

Somewhat compatible witn QBasic programs. Extremely slow for console I/O (PRINT TAB()).
