The last news of the day is not mega exciting, but at least interesting. Rich Turner from Microsoft announced on the Microsoft Dev Blog that the source of Microsoft GW-BASIC from 1983 is now available as opensource here on GitHub. 

Build scripts and tools are missing, but with the assembly source for the 8088 a wonderful example of a BASIC implementation finally becomes available.  Lots to learn. 🙇‍♂️
