Do you actually know basic? Just wondering how someone goes about learning it and using it these days.

I know it from back then and it can do some pretty impressive things. Not sure how I’d start from scratch these days but it’ll definitely be out there.

Thanks for your response, I’ve been keeping my eye out for a reasonably priced C64 or something so I can get into it on some real hardware (I’m sure there are emulators out there but that’s not as fun).
I feel like learning it would help with understanding some of what happens “under the hood” in modern languages.

Last time I looked, both QB64 and FreeBasic were pretty good and had active forums and wikis etc
Both are nice implementations of QuickBasic for a number of platforms
