QBasic Description
QuickBasic and QBasic are both easy-to-learn programming languages (and therefore great for beginners). They are based on DOS operating systems, but can also be used on Windows. QBasic is a slimmed down version of QuickBasic. QBasic is less powerful than QuickBasic because it does not have a compiler. QBasic can't be used to create executables (.exe) files. The built-in QBasic interpreter cannot execute the source code (normal files with a.bas extension). QuickBasic also has a wider command set than QBasic. A lightweight programming language and a simple compiler are the best tools to learn how to program. Qbasic (short for QB) offers many advantages to beginners and professionals that other compilers don't. QB IDE was very popular back then, when DOS was still the most widely-used operating system. QBasic/QuickBASIC is required on current Windows systems. DOSBox.

Crystal
Crystal's syntax is heavily inspired from Ruby's. It feels natural to read, easy to write, with the added benefit that it requires less learning curve for Ruby devs. Crystal is statically type-checked so errors in type will be caught before they reach runtime. Crystal also has type inference built-in, which means that most type annotations are unnecessary. Crystal makes all types non-nilable. The available variables are represented by a union of the type and null. The compiler will check for null references during compile time. Crystal's solution to metaprogramming is a powerful macro-system that covers everything from types inspection and basic templating to types inspection and running arbitrary programs.

Eclipse Ceylon
Eclipse Ceylon is a language that allows you to write large programs in teams. Before you start the tour, take a 15-minute introduction to Eclipse Ceylon. It is best to download the IDE to get started and then write some code. You can then explore the modules in Ceylon Herd. You can also do it online. This is a community project. All of our work is open source. Eclipse Ceylon's powerful flow sensitive static type system is able to catch many bugs and allow you to express more easily: union and intersect types, tuples function types, mixin inheritance and reified generics. We spend more time reading code from others than we do writing our own. Eclipse Ceylon places a high value on readability. It supports treelike structures and elegant syntax sugar when appropriate.

PureScript
PureScript is an entirely functional, strongly-typed programming language that compiles JavaScript. It allows developers to create robust web applications, mobile apps, and web servers using functional programming techniques. PureScript has features like algebraic data types and pattern matching. It also offers row polymorphism. The language emphasizes pure functions and strong static typing to ensure code reliability and maintainability. Developers can compile PureScript into readable JavaScript to facilitate seamless integration with existing JavaScript codes. The ecosystem includes a large collection of libraries, excellent tools, and editor support, including instant rebuilds. A vibrant community offers a variety of learning resources including the PureScript book which provides practical projects for beginners.

XAML
XAML can be used as a declarative markup language. XAML is a declarative markup language that can be applied to the.NET Core programming system. It makes it easier to create a UI for a.NET Core application. You can create visible UI elements using the declarative XAML Markup. Then, you can separate the UI definition and the run-time logic using code-behind file that is joined to the markup via partial class definitions. XAML represents the instantiation objects in a set of backing types that are defined in assemblies. This is in contrast to other markup languages that are interpreted languages without a direct connection to a backing types system. XAML allows for a workflow that allows two parties to work together on the UI and logic of an app using different tools. XAML files can be represented as text and have the.xaml extension. You can encode the files using any XML encoding but UTF-8 is most common.
