LiZrd BASIC

LiZard is being designed closer to what the world now calls “Classic VB” but using a totally different approach. Classic Visual Basic or VB6 which I prefer to call it has a gigantic command set (about 250 keywords). C++ on the other hand is actually a fairly small language only made bigger by it’s include files. If you didn’t include any of the provided ‘.h’ files your experience with C++ wouldn’t be worth the time where VB on the other hand, unless you needed something from the API everything was right there in front of you. LiZard is being built to support those 250 keywords externally as C/C+ is.

I believe a compiler should be able to compile itself so it should be written in the language it compiles. LiZard has been written in 100% VB6. It’s still really buggy and only compiles 32 bit Native code for Windows.

I do also plan on trimming the fat a little. For example chr() will be supported, but chr$() will not.

Today’s small-to-medium-sized (SMB) businesses and large enterprises are saving on their monthly communications costs by making one simple decision: to switch to a VoIP service solution from their old, outdated Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS). By choosing a new VoIP service, these companies enjoy the flexibility, reliability, call features, and audio quality that only a VoIP service can provide. Plus, they cut their phone bill by up to 70%!
