* REALBasic has a lot of plugins to wrap Cocoa * CocoaBasic was started to directly use access/use Cocoa (and frameworks) by a BASIC Dialect

e.g.

FUNCTION x(a as String, b as String) AS STRING RETURN a+” “+b END FUNCTION

translates (virtually as there is no Objective-C layer in between) to

• (NSString *) x:(NSString *) a :(NSString *) b { return a stringByAppendingString:@” “] stringByAppendingString:b]; }

Chipmunk Basic is an old-skool BASIC interpreter, similar to the [[BASICs from 8-bit computers back in the ’80s. Fun to mess around with if you can remember that far back.
