I am an engineering/science-type, and have used SmallBASIC since it was actually still aimed mainly at the then-rabid Palm crowd (tho I never had one).
I have kept WUBI Ubuntu since v9.6, and I am in it & using it, 'constantly'. My upcoming new machine will trim any default Redmond OS back to a corner-partition, and will boot Ubuntu when the switch clicks. I have used BASIC for (gulp) 25 years. I have several of them, but I use SmallBASIC. I am quite likely to direct 'development' attention into FreeBASIC. FB may or may not have additional Linux/Ubuntu issues ... but regardless, having the lower-threshhold SmallBASIC critically positioned for entry-level & ancient users, will remain a priority to me, as it has been for many years. SmallBASIC has been stable for a long time, and Chris Warren Smith has consistently done a very smart job of care-taking the project. I think it would be a long-term asset to Ubuntu, and I would be another of the 'old crew' who would help keep the dust from accumulating. Best to all at Ubuntu & Canonical!
