Enhancements/Alternatives

I've just watched this video and this project looks very interesting. (I haven't used it myself, but it certainly looks pretty good.)

• Vision BASIC

There is also a Commodore BASIC V2 interpreter/compiler that is written in Java available at BasicV2 and GitHub repo located at basicv2. This looks to be a pretty impressive project that provides cross-compiling support as well as a symbolic 6502 assembler so you can target real C64, VIC20 and possibly even the Commander X16.
