For a quick online compile: https://zx.remysharp.com/bas/ If you'd like to add it to your tool-chain (as I did) you can go here and have it locally. It's a bit fiddly to download it but after that, it works great. For me, the most important feature is to be able to have comments that are ignored at compile time.
What are some alternatives?
