For those interested in Game Boy development using a BASIC-like programming language, the latest version of ugBASIC language and development toolkit (ugbasic.iwashere.eu) can now be used to build Game Boy ROM files, as well as executables for many other retro video game systems!

If I understand things correctly, ugBasic actually lets you develop programs for 8-bit platforms on your PC, using something that looks a lot like BASIC within a modern IDE.

Then it makes everything run fast. Presumably by translating stuff to assembly.

Colour me impressed - a cross compiled language that targets loads of 8-bit computers from the 80's, with similar speeds and results?

I think this weekend I might at least download and install ugbasic

You never know, I might download some motivation to program, too
