No basic is not and never was #1 candidate for spaghetti code! That
disgrace belongs to Cobol.

Well, obasic may be available. It costs about $100.00 for the registered
version but I don't know if the company survived.

This is the criterion from the user/programmer perspective. It is
well known that you can use almost everything in a bad manner...

If you like BASIC, but can't find a Linux implementation that suits

Sorry, I should have made this a bit more explicit: as the sub-thread
started from some exchange on XBasic v-a-v Quickbasic, I referred to the
lack of a Basic _compiler_.
