thinBasic is currently listed in 3rd position.

Thanks to all.

PS: Jobaco project seems a really good project! Mimic almost 100% VB6 but "bytecode" in Java.
Hi.

My Question = "Could ThinBasic be used to write Web Applets?"

This may be a dumb question but I am only an amateur programmer, not a programming language developer, so please forgive huge gaps in my knowledge.

I love programming in Basic (ThinBasic, VB6, BBC, etc) for the usual reasons (it is close to my natural language)
I dont like C-style languages, for the usual reasons (too cryptic for my brain to read easilly).
I would like to write simple applets for users to interact with over the web (e.g. simple buttons, data entry fields, vector graphics)
Standard way to write web applets seems to be Java. Java is too much like C for me. I dont like Java.

OPTION 1
So maybe I could find a Basic which will let me produce web applets?

I guess that ThinBasic will not (in short-term) offer an option to compile into java bytecode.

Jabaco seems interesting as it produces java bytecode.
This can be run in web environment in html pages (on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android etc).
But development of Jabaco seems to have stalled so it may be too risky.

I dont see any other Basics which will compile into Java Bytecode.


OPTION 2
I wonder whether it would be feasible to write a converter to convert simple pieces of ThinBasic source code into Java source code.
And then I could compile the Java source code into Java bytecode (using the free Java SDK compiler in the standard way).

I would be interested to hear anyone's opinions on this.
