Best BASIC!
After trying a number of BASIC dialects over the years, I've settled on Yabasic. I originally used PureBasic, and while I liked it, the licensing cost eventually pushed me to look elsewhere. Yabasic reminds me why I enjoyed programming in the first place. It's simple, lightweight, easy to understand, and lets me focus on writing programs instead of learning a complicated framework. It has that classic BASIC feel that's become surprisingly hard to find. It won't replace modern enterprise languages, but that's not what it's trying to do. If you enjoy straightforward programming and quick experimentation, Yabasic is a hidden gem.
