I think the main influence comes from an old good alternative BASIC for ZX Spectrum: Beta BASIC by Andy Wright (and its descendants SAM BASIC and MasterBASIC for the SAM Coupé, by the same Author). The proc syntax is almost the same, though Beta BASIC do it better: it calls procs by name (like S*BASIC), while SpecBAS needs the word PROC. The DO LOOP structures are also the same; though Beta BASIC do it better too: it lets UNTIL and WHILE at both DO and LOOP in any possible combination, while SpecBAS so far only lets "DO WHILE - LOOP" or "DO -- LOOP UNTIL". Remember SpecBAS is still alpha and evolving. It seems it will become a useful and multiplatform language -- with a nice retro feeling.
