A "freemium" BASIC for Windows whose main goal is to achieve "100% backwards compatibility" with Microsoft Visual Basic 6, according to its website — but with a lot of new features it is not simply a clone, but a branch of BASIC on its own.

By January 2024, a version 1.0 release was set to July 2024, but early development releases had been available since April 2021 in its GitHub repository.

Where it is/was used

  • Microsoft Windows 7+

Noteworthy characteristics

Environment and usage

No attempt of creating a successor to VB would be legitimate without a visual, RAD-style IDE — and twinBASIC does have one.

As of January 2024, the existing (and indeed extensive) documentation seemed much more targeted to twinBASIC developers than users.

  • MS Visual Basic 6 - In spite of having no real links to Microsoft, compatibility with the original, beloved and abandoned VB has been the priority of the project.
