Well, QBASIC, like C is a top-down structured language. BASIC allows you to get messy. But go back and look at your C from a year ago, what is the difference? I can not read mine.
I still use a QBASIC syntax for system tools and translate it to C (via QB2C www.bastoc.com)and gcc it. Best of both worlds. It is either ASM or BASIC for me. See bastoc.com for a description of how you can use BASIC on a Unix platform, and the result is C.. Only thing faster, ASM.. But then you are locked to the hardware/uP-uC. A good program can write in any language. A smart programmer, well.. Redundant.
