In plain words
This project is a BASIC interpreter written in the Go programming language. It allows users to run BASIC programs on modern systems, recreating the classic programming language that was popular on early personal computers. The interpreter is hosted on GitHub and targets anyone interested in retro computing, learning how interpreters work, or running legacy BASIC code. It appeals to programmers and computing enthusiasts who want to explore or revive 1980s-era programming.

AntiLang is an interpreted programming language written in Go. The basic idea of this is to keep all the logical parts of a language same, but reverse the structure of it. The idea for this project came when I was having a long midnight conversation with my friend and thought of writing such a weird language. The initial draft was far worse than the current implementation; we thought of reversing the brackets and the language would be read from bottom to top. I'm happy that I dropped that idea Technical details: As the interpreter is written in Golang, I compiled it to WASM, and the whole…

ClifferBasic, a simple BASIC interpreter as a .NET REPL2024 · github.com · ▲23Ever since I got my first computer, a TI-99/4A, at age 13, I've been fascinated by programming languages. I've written a few interpreters, but this is the first time I've come back to the first language I've ever learned, BASIC. I started ClifferBasic as a way to shake out bugs and find feature weaknesses in another project I'm working on, Cliffer, which is a library for writing CLI applications in .NET using attributed program, but it's taken on a life of its own and has become a rather fun project. I'm planning to flesh out the BASIC implementation over the coming weeks, but I'd like…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
