I’m maintaining a list of both supported and unsupported keywords here:
Supported Keywords
Unsupported Keywords

There is also a general outline of the QBasic language support here:
QBasic Language Support

The goal is to increase the level of compatibility with each release.  Version 2.0.2 is what I’m currently targeting from a compatibility perspective for QB64.  This was the current version when I first started tracking and the last version before the community split.

Thank you! This is very useful!

Thanks
There are many!  One of my favorites: OnlineGDB  It supports 20 or so languages, including C, Java, Python and Pascal.  Not Lua though. I like it cause you can debug online!  And also it supports curses and ansi escape codes, which is sort of unique as these things go.

One that supports Lua (and many others) is the semi-famous Tutorialspoint

Yabasic online , FreeBasic online

Again, there are many!

Might be fun to start a thread listing some of them and noting which ones are good and which are not so good.
That's so cool - thanks. 
Yes, it would be helpful to see people's feedback on which ones are best...

PS You're not by chance related to Ted "Jambalayah" Davis, the guitar playing carpet laying VB6 king of South Florida, are you? Just a very colorful programmer I once knew. LoL  Tongue
