Touch BASIC

Touch BASIC is a lightweight BASIC interpreter written in standard C. It is a dynamic typed programming language; it makes it flexible and easy to use. Touch BASIC supports structured syntax; implements a style of OOP(Object Oriented Programming) called prototype-based programming paradigm; and it offers a functional programming ability with lambda abstraction. The kernel is written with a C language.

The well-known programming language BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code; when we mention BASIC today, we often refer to the BASIC family, not any specific one. The BASIC family has a long history since an original BASIC was designed in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire; and BASIC is famous because it is easy to learn and use all the time. Touch Basic (MY-BASIC) has a structured BASIC syntax, and offers many other retro and modern features. It would be familiar to you if you have ever programmed with another BASIC dialect, or other programming languages.
