this is a project.... make a substrate of function/procedure/block of code (surely in C for compiler used to make .EXE) that does the underhood work while the coder is free to use the QB64 code or Phyton or Java or Javascript or one of the other programming languages set as available in IDE.
Buuut you must think that all available languages can be used only in the measure that it emulates the QB64 set of instructions and not freely.
IMHO ,in a different way (let to use with all their potential) the work to build this project is bigger than build Visual Studio Microsoft Enterprise.
Buuut this is only the opinion of an hobbist programmer.
This kind of thing will probably get done in a few years when artificial intelligence is smart enough to help out with it. There is already AI to translate syntax, but I don't think it can translate code from specialized libraries and find an equivalent in another language / library. That would take real smarts!
But it can translate syntax from one language into another, and the code I tested actually worked.
Here is the one that translates JavaScript to Python

(you must sign up for a free account).
I was using it to translate a library of string and math functions I had in JavaScript to Python, mainly out of curiosity and to see what the equivalent Python syntax would be for things I already know how to do in JavaScript.
Anyway, I agree that this is still a ways off in the future.
For now I am happy with QB64!
