There are BASIC programming language fans even at Google, and, seem to be, they have much free time to ... develop one more BASIC :)

WWWBasic is an implementation of BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) designed to be easy to run on the Web.

Maybe to fork it and update the language to b4w :)

they use java script to interpret basic? arrrggghh.

instead of this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://google.github.io/wwwbasic/wwwbasic.js"></script>
<script type="text/basic">
PRINT "Hello World!"
FOR i = 1 to 10
PRINT "Counting "
NEXT
</script>
</head>
</html>
Click to expand...

i would expect this and sure some gui commands.
index.basic
PRINT "Hello World!"
FOR i = 1 to 10
PRINT "Counting "; i
NEXT
