I don't know if we ever talked about QB64 here?
For me it is like SmallBASIC's big brother but Compiled and with typed variables (many!) and many new features that are incompatible with old QBasic or QB45 or ... these keywords are all marked with a beginning underline _newKeyword so old QB usually mostly works.
There is the official QB64.net
http://www.qb64.net/forum/currently (2018-02-15) down
There is a newer OB64.org that takes over when .net is down (down allot) and as of today will stay up and co-exist with the official .net site.
http://qb64.org (important downloads and sources)
http://qb64.org/forum/Walter Whitman's site: The Joyful Programmer (where I hang out too much and might find a couple golden oldies from BP.org)
http://qb64.thejoyfulprogrammer.com/?rndtime=1514578291164454855There are many enthusiast sites, I will share one, Steve McNeil's because he has the Basic spirit of being teacher to beginners:
http://qb64.freeforums.net(though ProBoards is NOT my favorite forum host environment) Steve has this forum as backup to his code but it is regular forum where the code could be discussed in advertised space.
So JJ, you don't have to just hang out at FB
And Galileo, there are guys at .net that speak your language, I think.
Oh very important! Don't forget about the Wiki:
http://www.qb64.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page(but today is experiencing technical difficulties because QB64.net is down and Wiki is tied in with it. We gotta fix that because using help from IDE is as primitive as using the IDE's file LOAD Dialog.)
