Thanks for all the feedback, largely positive, which is great.
One of the important things that came out of this feedback was
the need for a language specification. What will this BASIC
look like?
Sam Weiss from Adobe has brought together a number of people
working on BASIC, and Object-oriented extensions to the language.
The first step I have made is to form a mailing list for this
discussion, which although not Java-specific, is very relevant
to developing a BASIC compiler for Java.
If you are interested in assisting this effort, subscribe to
the OOBASIC-L mailing list.
send mail to listproc@netspot.city.unisa.edu.au, with the body text:
SUBSCRIBE OOBASIC-L <firstname> <lastname>
Once this produces some 'fruit', then we will have something solid
to work from.
Some parallel work may also start to take place in investigating
the nuts and bolts of compiling to bytecodes, and other tasks that
haven't occurred to me, but have to others:-)
