QB64 questions (choice of language, etc.)by qbguy (no login)Why did you choose to write QB64 in BASIC? Is it just so that you could have a self-hosting compiler? Why didn't you create your compiler by using the lex and yacc programs (free implementations include GNU flex and bison) to do the parsing? |
