interesting...

I took the example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://google.github.io/wwwbasic/wwwbasic.js"></script>
<script type="text/basic">
PRINT "Hello World!"
FOR i = 1 to 10
  PRINT "Counting "; i
NEXT i
</script>

and changed it from 1 to 10

to 1 to 40

and I think I broke it???

That's how Coyote used to serve up dynamic content.

yes

Coyote still serves up dynamic content via:

a) basic code within your html code

b) basic code compiled (PLZ command) along with html code

one thing about Coyote --> it hasn't been hacked as far as I know

I really love the LAQP mashup - Linux, Apache, QM, PHP

Coyote's ability to RPC (remote procedure call) let's you read and/or write to multiple PICK flavors plus MS SQL / SQL. Nowadays its more about presentation and the browser(s) work on phones, tablets, and computers.

really cool stuff.

Well, here's the deal, you can get generic BASIC for free or MVBASIC for fee. We pay either way.

http://www.mvdeveloper.com/pages/mvscript.htm

Brian Leach as a great collection of tools, including a GUI IDE like those that have been so enthusiastically discussed here recently.

I highly recommend going through his site (and blog). There's a lot there worthy of consideration.

There is something to be said for FOSS of course. And since WWWBASIC and MVScript work differently, they're subject to personal taste as well as comparisons of cost and quality.

BTW, MVScript is more like Coyote. I don't thnk WWWBASIC internally works like Coyote.

Would be nice to see someone fork WWWBASIC, then incorporate the logic from the MVON extension for Sublime to support MVBASIC. It's all FOSS and the projects aren't competing. I'd think this would be a Win all around.

An entrepreneurial approach to this might be do that and then sell support for the new package, perhaps even an extension that links this WWW_MV_BASIC with database platforms.
