    [GitHub - google/wwwbasic: WWWBasic is an implementation of BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) designed to be easy to run on the Web.](https://github.com/google/wwwbasic) Sample code :

    <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 "; i
    NEXT i
    </script>
    </head>
    </html>

    And no, this is real - it actually works :-)

                    I hated BASIC the first time around already. JS too, as I dislike interpreters in general. Now, what would you expect me to say to this interpreted interpreter?

                    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                      WWWBasic now obsolete and unsupported. WWWBasic-v2 is what you should be using and it's not backward-compatible.

                                Two wrongs? Really? Start counting[^]. After that we shall pluck apart good old BASIC.

                                  [GitHub - google/wwwbasic: WWWBasic is an implementation of BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) designed to be easy to run on the Web.](https://github.com/google/wwwbasic) Sample code :

                                  <html>
                                  <head>

                                  PRINT "Hello World!"
                                  FOR i = 1 to 10
                                  PRINT "Counting "; i

                                  And no, this is real - it actually works :-)

                                  Every conservative bone in my body says "cool, cool" but I don't know that I'd actually go back and start delving into code just to see where I went wrong. Too late to fix it. I'm there too Rainer ...

                                    I hated BASIC the first time around already. JS too, as I dislike interpreters in general. Now, what would you expect me to say to this interpreted interpreter?

                                        That's what Dumb also always says when he executes Dumber's next master plan. The scary thing is how many actually believe it besides him.
