Editing BASIC (section)

== Post-1990 versions and dialects ==
Many other BASIC dialects have also sprung up since 1990, including the [[Open-source software|open source]] [[QB64]] and [[FreeBASIC]], inspired by QBasic, and the Visual Basic-styled [[RapidQ]], [[HBasic]], [[Basic For Qt]] and [[Gambas]].<ref name="theregister_com" /> Modern commercial incarnations include [[PureBasic]], [[PowerBASIC]], [[Xojo]], [[Blitz Research|Monkey X]] and [[True BASIC]] (the direct successor to Dartmouth BASIC from a company controlled by Kurtz).

Several web-based simple BASIC interpreters also now exist, including Microsoft's [[Microsoft Small Basic|Small Basic]] and [[Google]]'s wwwBASIC.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hackaday.com/2018/09/17/its-the-web-basically/|title=It's The Web, Basically|first=Al|last=Williams|website=[[Hackaday]]|date=2018-09-17|access-date=2023-09-28}}</ref> A number of compilers also exist that convert BASIC into [[JavaScript]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://codeavenger.com/2017/02/14/JavaScript-compilers.-Part-II-Languages-that-compile-to-JavaScript.html|website=Code Avenger|title=JavaScript compilers.

On game consoles, an application for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo DSi]] called ''[[Petit Computer]]'' allows for programming in a slightly modified version of BASIC with DS button support. A version has also been released for [[Nintendo Switch]], which has also been supplied a version of the Fuze Code System,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/6/19/15833220/fuze-code-studio-nintendo-switch-make-your-own-basic-games|title=Fuze Code Studio will let kids use the Switch to code their own Switch games|first=Paul|last=Miller|date=2017-06-19|website=[[The Verge]]|access-date=2023-09-30}}</ref> a BASIC variant<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thegadgetman.org.uk/back-to-basic-with-fuze/|website=The Gadget Man|title=Now kids can get back to BASIC with Fuze|first=Matt|last=Porter|date=2015-12-18|access-date=2023-09-30}}</ref> first implemented as a custom [[Raspberry Pi]] machine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thegadgetman.org.uk/back-to-basic-with-fuze/|website=The Gadget Man|title=FUZE powered by Raspberry Pi V2 review|first=Mike|last=Bedford|date=2015-10-21|access-date=2023-09-30}}</ref> Previously BASIC was made available on consoles as [[Family BASIC]] (for the [[Nintendo Famicom]]) and [[PlayStation (console)|PSX]] [[Chipmunk Basic]] (for the original [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]]), while [[yabasic]] was ported to the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[FreeBASIC]] to the original [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]].
