Imagine if QBasic programmers thought QB64 was competition? What a disastrous start that would have been. Instead, we welcomed it as a way to extend our abilities to new platforms, without the need of emulators.
When Rob and I talked about this in 2007, I convinced the then owner of The QBasic Forum, Mac, to include a forum on the boards, moderated by Galleon. The purpose was to help further the development and awareness of the development and use of QB64. I see QBJS in much the same light.
Now if either of you would like to enlighten folks like me, who know absolutely nothing about the BAM project, I'd appreciate it. Either here or in a new thread is fine by me. I really can't speak to something I have no awareness of in regard to competition or other aspects.

Okay, seems like I am learning a little more about myself: I have particular difficulties with rabbit hole discussions that are very narrow-focused on something not-related (in my mind, anyway), but seem to have interest piqued when the OP is elevated to a broader view.?
Huh.
About Basic Anywhere Machine. I'll do that in another thread and cross-reference in this one.
About QBJS: duh, I totally missed mentioning what I think is the best thing about it: the ability, or the promise/goal, of taking QB64PE programs to the web. So one source code for compiling to whatever destination OS, and/or running in web browsers. Talk about leveraging a single code base. Adding that to the OP now.
