Bill Gates just published the ‘coolest code' he ever wrote for Microsoft

The interpreter would convert BASIC commands into machine code that the Altair 8800 could understand. A maximum of 4 kilobytes was available for the interpreter so that Altair owners still had enough memory available to run the other programs.
