Dandelion BASIC Devlog.
I feel like giving up on this attempt at Dandelion BASIC.
The file is now 17KB full of bare metal assembly. Having to break this up into files now is going to be a nightmare to manage.
Assembled, I am looking at about 1.3K ROM/Arduino flash used.
Looking at the different C++ implementations, even they max out at thousands of lines of code.
I need to figure out exactly what it is I am chasing when I try and put all this effort into something crazy like another BASIC.
