I happen to use MS QB4.5/dos at work for test systems.
This version
supports all the high level structures and variable scopes that HLL like
Pascal or C would. It's NOT a weak light weight BASIC. It does produce
fast, low ram load executeables (.exe) for dos environments and has
proven very robust and easy to use.
My beef with BASIC is especially the older versions with GOTO laden
code can easily be a bowl of long pasta to decode. However, I've seen
people do same with Fortran, ALGOL, Pascal and even C.
