The MSX BASIC environment sure has its merits, but I _really_ find the
hassling
with linenumbers etc backwards. An idea could be to develop a completely
new
MSX BASIC version (would be v5.0 or something?), which has
- no linenumbers (yes!)
- long variable names
- user defined types
- subroutines, procedures and functions
- possibility to build and link libraries.
An IDE could still be possible, e.g. something like the original Turbo
Pascal
IDE! I started thinking about it a couple of years ago, but - as with many
ideas -
I didn't work it out: no time, other things to do.
