Scriptman replied to an earlier post about our web BASIC effort:
What's wrong with PHP and PERL? They are both free and easy to learn.
So I replied to him with the following:
Perl is a useful tool, but let me explain why this is different from what we're doing.
First of all this is about BASIC, not Perl. If you like Perl then that's great. Use it. Enjoy. ;-)
A lot of people know and like BASIC, which is a perfectly useful language. There's no reason why a nice BASIC for the web shouldn't exist.
With Perl you have to manage at least three components. Your web server, your cgi scripts (you write them using a text editor), and to use your programs you use a web browser.What we're doing will allow the BASIC programmer to do everything in the browser. There is no concept of a remote procedure. An application with sophisticated interactive features can exist in one file, written in a very standard desktop app coding style. In other words this is going to be easy. If you think cgi programming with Perl is easy, this is going to be even easier.
