I don't know that BASIC in any of its flavors lines up well with the
functional requirements needed for easy (compact, easy to read, easy
to learn how to program) template structure and so forth.

If you'd like to propose a BASIC syntax for the tools we need, that
might make the argument more cogent and viable.  Of necessity you need
to base that on a BASIC which is freeware and portable.
