GPL is not listed and is the ONLY 100% TI Language invented by Texas Instruments on list!

You could say Assembly but untrue for most CPU are unique for each CPU, but GPL on several is the same as 990 Mini Computer.

are you saying GPL was used on the miniframes?

Here's another amusing take on 99er demographics. 

 

I pretty only post TI-99 stuff to my YouTube channel. 

 

And YouTube gives me the following gender breakdown:

I mean...they're probably not wrong.

 

I just subscribed, so maybe I can mix up those demographics ... slightly. ;)

Not many people mess with GPL here, so I included it as: Lesser.PNG.3e46ba591aa0e82614e0ecd9da2e0bbf.PNG.

Not to mention no RXB.

 

RXB, falls under the heading of Extended BASIC.  I could have listed "(and variants)", like I did for Forth, but I didn't see the need.

I don't know. Rich gave that figure and has had a lot longer to test for compatibility issues than I have. As far as I know XB 2.8 G.E.M. is totally compatible with TI BASIC. One possibility is that earlier versions of RXB used the standard random number generator in XB. This gives a different sequence of numbers than the TI BASIC random number generator. If a random number seed is used and the sequence is important then the results will differ. The current version (2015) of RXB cannot use a random number seed. The random numbers in XB 2.8 G.E.M. are identical to those produced in TI BASIC. Of course the flip side is that they are not identical to those produced by normal XB, so it is possible that this change could effect XB programs.

Just curious: what's the other 0.1% that trips RXB and XB GEM?

There are 2 TI Basic programs that crash RXB but both use features only found in GROM2 of TI Basic which of course RXB does not use.

Honestly both are fudging a feature of TI Basic and both are not mentioned anywhere for use.

I did fix one of them so it was not a big problem but did at least error out instead of totally locking up RXB.

The other just crashes like previous one mentioned and will not run. So not a big deal as neither will ever be used.
