What if there was no BASIC in EndBASIC? – by Julio Merino
Summary
An exploration of EndBASIC, a cross-platform BASIC interpreter, and how its building blocks could be repurposed to create different, potentially more useful projects. The piece outlines four core components (pure compiler/VM, portable console, virtual file system, embedded disk image builder) and discusses future directions like replacing BASIC with another language, an OS-like buildroot alternative, and AI-assisted development, ending with next steps.
