No offense taken. I plan to improve the compiler and add other target machines (currently it generates Z80 asm files already). But I refuse to use AI in this side project :( Just to enjoy it for the sake of coding (you know), so some inrovements will take some time…

I’m the author of the compiler. I started it 18yrs ago, well before AI, mainly as a PoC. But people started to ask for more and more features … The compiler tries hard to mimic the original Sinclair BASIC but also allows a more modern syntax similar to QBasic / FreeBASIC.

You can use codeberg.org as an alternative to GitHub. Theirs software is Open Source, so you can even host it yourself.

In a word: yes. I'm not going to provide links. There are many already in this page.

I've been always a Firefox user (never switched to Chrome). And everything works fine for me (on both Linux and MacOS). I remember when they disabled on purpose the Google Meet background feature in Firefox (yes, it was working in the beginning). After nearly 2 years they put it back on Firefox. It was never a Firefox bug.

The thing is that by pushing people to use Chrome / Chromium browsers they have more control on us (even was fined 5B for tracking uses in Incognito Mode: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/30/1222268415/google-settles-5-b...)

So yes, even in Private mode, Chrome / Chromium were spying on users without notice, which is unacceptable.

I created a ZX Spectrum BASIC compiler (compiles from BASIC to ZX Spectrum machine code).

You might want to give it a try and run the programs in your device: https://github.com/boriel-basic/zxbasic
