nuBASIC is a programming language from the BASIC family distributed under MIT License.
nuBASIC is a member of the BASIC programming family, and you can find it under the MIT License. My love for BASIC began at the age of 8, while I was having fun programming on my Commodore 64. This early interest turned into a serious passion, and it led me to create my own BASIC interpreter. Fast forward to 2013, I showcased this project as a non-trivial example in an advanced C++ programming course I was teaching. Coincidentally, this was exactly fifty years after John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz introduced BASIC. What's really interesting is that now, over 10 years later, the project is still going strong. I occasionally dive back in to fix issues or update it to work with new operating systems, keeping the legacy of nuBASIC alive and well.
