I would agree that BASIC is generally not the best language.
However, if one MUST use BASIC, look at BBx from Basis Inc. It
includes all of the necessary structures that make it useful and
includes lots of file structures to make development easy.

Even though I know this language, I also prefer C for its
flexibility and useability, but there are those...
