Anyone interested in a flavor of BASIC try my version of BWaterBasic for
Linux, Windows and DOS
at https://yeolpishack.net/repos/KenUnix/BwBasic
It's pretty fast. Full source and DOCs are also there.

I'm sorry but the original BASIC as run on
the Dartmouth Time Sharing
System
was compiled.
I wasn't around Dartmouth, and my first experiences with BASIC were all
interpreted.
I had run a trivial program in it on a Silent 700 connected through a
phone line, long before I got my first personal computer (TRS80).
Thank you for the details of the history.
When Microsoft introduced "BASCOM" (their BASIC compiler), my first uses
of it were primarily to make my source code less easily accessible to
would-be infringers. :-)
