@pleb @Moon @pernia I'll catch shit for saying it, but I love FreeBASIC, an open source implementation of QuickBASIC for protected mode MS-DOS, Windows, and Linux. It has been written in itself for 15 years.
Would you want to use it for a big project? That's tough to say. Really depends on the project, I'd say. I like it because it is easy to get up and running with something quickly since the basic library gives you a lot of simple stuff without thinking too hard about it, but I could understand if a lot of people would turn their noses up at it because it's a dialect of BASIC.
That being said, it has a lot of modern features that are pretty neat. Once I read the documentation I was able to do multithreading really easily which I think is awesome.
