==Reception== ''[[BYTE]]'' in September 1984 approved of SuperBASIC's improvements over [[Sinclair BASIC]] but criticized its "very, very slow" performance on the [[Byte Sieve]], writing that "With a 7.5-MHz [[Motorola 68008|68008]], you'd think it would take some effort to get a language to run that slowly". The magazine also noted that SuperBASIC's seven-digit precision made it unsuitable for business use ("you can represent numbers far larger than the number of quarks in the universe, but not the pennies on your balance sheet if your turnover exceeds Β£99,000").<ref name="pountain198409">{{Cite magazine |last=Pountain |first=Dick |date=September 1984 |title=The Sinclair QL |url=https://archive.org/details/BYTE_Vol_09-10_1984-09_Computer_Graphics/page/n416/mode/1up?view=theater |access-date=2025-04-10 |magazine=BYTE |pages=415-419}}</ref>
