Still thinking about BASIC.

Despite the fact that Tiny BASIC is unstructured, it is a very powerful language.

I think the entire collection of statements in Commodore BASIC V2 is about 50.

From recent experience, adapting BASIC into other flavours is quite trivial--either comment the exotic statement out, or rewrite the statement in the syntax of the other flavour.

@vidak Also you can make compatibility layers.

20000 REM CLS
20001 CLS
20009 RETURN

Atari:
20001 ?CHR$(125);

etc.
