  BASIC environment with a REPL, a web interface, a graphical console, and RPi support written in Rust

  

Correct. They go up to 256. The numbers map to the "typical" X11 colors and the table is here:

I've thought about adding other ways of specifying colors, like COLOR "#aabbcc". Would that be useful/interesting?

  4 316 4.2 Go

  A BASIC interpreter written in golang.

Unusable might be a bit harsh, but I have to say that when I wrote my own BASIC interpreter last year I deliberately concentrated on the line-numbers and facilities of the ZX Spectrum I remembered:

Being standalone it doesn't have the graphic support or the interactivity, but it was still a fun project to work upon.

Having a bitmap in normal system memory that we can write to the window or screen is easy though and should be more widely supported. Once you've got that you can write pixels, lines, rectangles, mandlebrots etc very easily and building up to a GUI toolkit is also quite easy and fun. This mechanism is fast enough for pretty much everything other than games on modern hardware.

I consider GPU acceleration a form of premature optimization - it adds complexity unnecessarily in many cases.

Here's my library for doing that on Windows and X11. https://github.com/abainbridge/deadfrog-lib
