Not exactly what you’re asking for, but the closest I’ve found (asking the same question) so far: https://www.spiderbasic.com/

That, paired w/ PureBasic looks quite promising, and there are Free (as in beer) options for both, so no reason not to give them a whirl. Thanks!

EDIT: so long as one keeps one projects to 800 lines or so or less.... (for SpiderBasic, I'm guessing PureBasic is similar)
