Commodore 64 BASIC Now Runs Inside PostgreSQL
A developer has ported Commodore 64 BASIC to run as a procedural language inside PostgreSQL, enabling retro coding within the database. The extension, plcbmbasic, allows users to write database functions in C64 BASIC syntax. It's a niche but creative integration of vintage computing with modern database systems.
