It's only interesting not because: 1. Runs on an HP calculator 2. Runs via Python
Because it's Basic. QB45 may have started way back when. QB64pe has taken a whole other leap forward. IMHO, QB64pe is not an emulation of QB45 any more (Really was it ever ??), it's a whole other animal in it's own right.
QB45 will never be obsolete, neither will be QB64pe. We already lost one founding member of the Basic language. What they created will live on.
