Neat, I was looking for a "modern" BASIC to make some little games, just to see how it was made before. I've always been interested in BASIC, I don't get why some people hate it...
Might have to do with projects based around BASIC being developed by inexperienced developers and most people dread maintaining poorly designed code, probably one of the reasons, there's others I'm sure. Also if you come from a different background to BASIC you get the wrong impression about the language.
