Yabasic blog

Welcome to the Yabasic blog!

My name is Thomas Larsen, and currently I am busy developing the next version of the Yabasic interpreter, Yabasic version 3 (see yabasic.basicprogramming.org for more information). It is my intention to post regularly, at least once or twice a week, for two reasons.

Firstly, I want to keep you informed about progress on Yabasic development. Yabasic 3 development has taken longer than I ever expected it would, but I'm fairly confident that I will be able to release a beta version in November, or December at the latest.

Secondly, I want to discuss certain features of Yabasic and gain valuable feedback. How should Yabasic evolve in the future? What could, or should, be done to make Yabasic more aesthetic, practical, and usable? With Yabasic 3 implementing new features such as user-defined types and modules, I look forward to hearing your answers to these questions.

When Yabasic 3 is out of beta, I intend to open this blog up to other interested Yabasic developers and programmers so that they, too, can share their experiences and ideas. I hope that future "generations" of Yabasic users will find the Yabasic blog interesting, useful, and inspirational.

In my next post, I'll provide some background to Yabasic 3 and discuss some of the decisions I have made so far in relation to Yabasic development.

Enjoy!
