QBIC
QBIC is QBasic's Interpreter for Codegolf. I made it to bring QBasic into the code-golfing arena. Working on it is a ton of fun. It provides a short-hand for QBasic's expansive syntax and language constructs, and it adds a few tricks of its own.
The project can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0R1Jgqp8Gg4cVJCZkRkdEthZDQ?usp=sharing
It is built and run entirely in / through QBasic. There is (as of yet) no web-interpreter or IDE.
Samples of usage are here: Showcase of Languages
