Cool stuff, man!
I also love to dabble in old, long-dead technologies and feel no need to justify it to anybody. I tinker with old 8 and 16 bit Commodore machines writing code and building hardware and it gives me such a thrill because "young me" would have killed to do this stuff.
I'm honestly surprised to see this bubbling up to the front page after it was originally shared five days ago and failed to gain traction then. But anyway, thanks everyone for stopping by. It was a good surprise.
Coincidentally, I have just pushed a new 0.5 release and a follow-up blog post that might clarify some of the questions I've heard so far: https://jmmv.dev/2021/01/endbasic-0.5.html (although briefly; I'll elaborate more on answers in future posts).
And, well, feel free to AMA!
