AmigaBASIC is still going, in some form. There's Cursor[0], a compiler with an editor from 1994, unfortunately proprietary and not further developed. Maybe someone could get a hold of the author to try and get them to open the source code for preservation and potential further development. There's also aqb[1], a reboot, MIT license. And a very nice alternative in AmigaOS, Blitzbasic, got its source code opened and forked, with renewed development for AmigaOS as AmiBlitz3[2], as well as ports to other platforms. 0. https://aminet.net/package/dev/basic/Cursor 1. https://github.com/gooofy/aqb 2. https://aminet.net/package/dev/basic/AmiBlitz3
