I heard that this year will finally be the year of the BASIC desktop.

So where did you hear? I would like to consider the source.

2014 was my Basic year when I ran across SmallBASIC. Oh yeah, from it's forum I learned of a forum called BP.org. :)

Oh hey!, I just saw Cyb's attachment! Very nice! I need to sign in more often. ;-))

And the year of Linux on mobile phones. ;)

It's a play on the oft-quoted saying that "next year will the year of the Linux desktop" - insomuch as Linux will finally topple the Microsoft/Apple desktop dominance.

Tomaaz gets it.

Yep. BASIC was a pretty good OS, then.  ;)
