He was much more comfortable coding in BASIC. Anyway, as QB64 became more and more inclusive, Rob started making more and more of his other professional project in QB64. He quit teaching and found work as a free-lance coder. For awhile, he even had ambitions to remake QB64 as a JAVA translator. I think he woke up one day and figured he, and his now couple of kids, weren't getting any younger. Oh well, maybe one day, someway, QB64 will get "smart" enough to run on a mobile phone. Maybe dbox is our best hope in that department. He is actively advancing a QB64 to JavaScript translator and yes, Virginia, we can uset JavaScript to code mobile apps.

If QB64 can ever be used to make smartphone apps, I'll finally feel like I am actually making full use of this supposed pocket computer from the future we all now have!
Is that what Rob Galleon is doing now, the QB64 JavaScript translator?
Is he the guy on here with that BASIC anywhere project?
