(whoops, meant to send to the list) Hi,
While i can't speak for everyone, i could say this: VB.NET <http://vb.net/>is widely used and definitely of use to a lot of people! Basicode died a horrible horrible death about 15 years ago and even that mailing list has had less than 20 posts in the last 2 years. a Basicode interpreter/compiler/whatever wouldn't really be of much use to anyone except for a very very small enthusiast market. It'd be more of a proof of concept thing than something that'd ever be widely used, so i doubt it'd get too far. But do feel free to apply anyway. Alan. On 3/16/07, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Back in the 1980s, there was a fore-runner to .NET and JAVA called Basicode[1][2]. This worked by each home micro having their own library to interpret, but the program which was loaded would run in the same way on each machine. Things moved on and the Basicode community sort of died a bit, but has recently re-emerged from the depths of Europe to something starting to be vibrant[3]. To move things on, I've proposed to create something akin to Visual Basicode.NET in C# (using Mono of course!). It would be capable of loading, saving and running the old Basicode material as well as creating new Basicode apps. Can anyone comment on if this is the sort of thing the Google SoC would look favourably on and if it is, anyone fancy acting as the sponsor?
