Should FreeBASIC be its own language, or an implementation of BASIC? --IanOsgood 13:35, 3 December 2007 (MST)

I don't think it's BASIC proper; No line numbers. The listed examples look 1:1 compatible with QBASIC, so if anything, they should be grouped with QBASIC. But I'd hesitate to tie QBASIC in with BASIC, just as I'd hesitate to tie Visual Basic.NET with Visual Basic 6. (Granted, there's more forward compatibility from BASIC to QBASIC than from VB6 to VB.NET. The problem with derived languages is a sticky one; There are similar problems with the Pascal family. Hm. I should create a Template:Family to give some sort of structure to such relationships. --Short Circuit 20:27, 4 December 2007 (MST)
