I haven't been working on Visible. Instead, I've been focusing on projects with the potential to generate some income... and even those haven't been moving forward very quickly. |
|||
I've restarted my Visible project. (Link below.) It's now divided into 3 sub-projects, a [[:Category:Visual Basic|VB]]-to-[[:Category:C++|C++]] translator, a [[QuickBASIC|QB]]-to-[[:Category:C|C]] translator, and a VB-to-[https://www.appgamekit.com/ AppGameKit] translator. I'd appreciate some help, if anyone has any interest -- doing this as a one-man show has been an exercise in futility. |

Oh, and I bought my wife a [[wp:IMac (Intel-based)|2020 Intel iMac]]... a week before the new [[wp:IMac_(Apple_silicon)|M1 iMacs]] were announced. Sigh. |

Someone remind me to do some work on [[wp:Rocky Mountain BASIC|Rocky Mountain BASIC]]. And [[wp:BCX|BCX]]. And [[:Category:BBC BASIC|BBC BASIC]]. Maybe [[:Category:Liberty BASIC|Liberty BASIC]]. [[:Category:Visual language|Visual languages]] could use work. |

<s>On the other hand, I need to do some [[wp:MIPS|MIPS]] work. And [[:Category:Kotlin|Kotlin]] (edit: and [[:Category:APL|APL]]) interests me.</s> |

*<s>[[wp:Windows 7|Windows 7]]</s> [[wp:Windows 10|Windows 10]], for the moment. Win7 self-destructed, and then the Win10 installer "somehow" destroyed my storage partition, with literally 20 years of downloads... all gone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Time to switch back to Linux, I guess. |

It's funny that I own so many Macs, since I consider pre-X Macs to be overpriced toys, but since modern macOS is built on top of a *nix system... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

It should be noted that all [[:Category:REALbasic|REALbasic]] examples that I've written (which can be found by looking through [[Special:Contributions/Eriksiers|my user contributions page]]) were written in REALbasic 5.5.5, which is several years old. (For comparison, this might be considered somewhat akin to writing in [[wp:C99|C99]] instead of the current standard, or writing for the original [[:Category:Visual Basic .NET|VB.Net]] instead of the current release -- my examples will ''probably'' work under modern versions... but they might not. [http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/Y/Your-mileage-may-vary.html YMMV.]) |

On the other hand, I recently installed the current version of [https://www.xojo.com/ Xojo]. Maybe I'll be able to find out what works and what doesn't. |
