AppStudio's BASIC is modelled on Microsoft's Visual BASIC. It runs on other operating system by translating the BASIC to JavaScript, a language which is supported on all platforms.

JavaScript is a powerful and flexible programming language. It's the standard programming language of the web. It's also the subject of Atwood's Law: "Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript."

When we designed our Translator, we were pleased to discover that almost everything in BASIC had a direct equivalent in JavaScript. Each BASIC statement could be turned into a JavaScript statement which did the same thing. (The reverse is not true: there are many features in JavaScript which do not have an equivalent in BASIC.)
