BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0

OK

Wow, has GL like QB64:
Richly:
Richard lists some features for both BBC BASIC for Windows and BBC for SDL 2.0
http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/bbcwin.html
http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/
I suppose he is presenting these features as advantages, although no doubt many (most) feature in other BASICs in some shape or form.
I'm still at the 'B' in BASIC level (not B+ yet :))) because I don't have a lot of time to practice (at least that's my excuse ;D) and I tend to divide my practice (playing?) time between different BASICs and other languages.
In other words, others are more qualified to judge than I am.
However, from a 'B' level perspective:
Pros = I am familiar with BBC BASIC and I can use it (SDL version) on my Windows, Android and Mac machines.
Con = GUI programming in BB4W and BBC SDL is complex; for me, at least.
In fact, I find Sinclair BASIC more accessible than BBC BASIC; but that could be because I owned a ZX Spectrum back in the day, which was much cheaper to buy than a BBC Micro, and so I spent more time with Sinclair BASIC at home and less time with BBC BASIC at school.

Did you know that Richard has developed a translator that translates Qbasic to BBC BASIC?
Might be useful if you are comparing / translating between the two dialects whilst you are exploring...
