Re-run Your First Program With Commodore BASIC

By Lifehacker US Edition on November 1, 2008 at 3:31 AM


Windows/Mac/Linux: The programming language that probably introduced more people to infinite loops than any other, Microsoft BASIC 6502 for the Commodore 64, is now available as a scripting language for many modern machines. What might you use it for? Who cares! Fortran and Cobol are still in use today, so surely some menial but dignified work could be found for a former star finally rediscovered, a la Sunset Boulevard. Free binary downloads are available for Windows and Mac, source code for Linux.
