I want to write a programming language for the X16 called Base Camp. I want to write a language because although BASIC is an awesome language the one issue I have with it is that its interpreted so I want Base Camp to be similar to BASIC but with components of modern languages(for example functions) I also would like it to be compiled. Before I can start I have a few questions:
1. Is it practical(should I create Base Camp or is it a bad idea)?
2. Is it possible(is it possible to write Base Camp)?
3. Are there any text editors for the X16 and if not how could I write one?
4. Should I write Base Camp in BASIC or assembly(I'm pretty sure ill write in it assembly but I want to hear other peoples opinions.)
My skills: I have worked with x86 assembly and am learning 6502 assembly.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thank You!
