Ah yes, a big omission. Sorry about that. I should have included Thinbasic, Bacon and Gambas too...and there are probably others...
Aurel:
Problem is in who use what ..but in how many people even use any of basic
I can say that amount of real users is very very small.

Can you spell SmallBASIC right?
Yahoo can't distinguish the two but wki can :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmallBASIC
but article has not been updated for some time?
Small then BASIC the two words are together with all capital BASIC. http://smallbasic.sourceforge.net/
To distinguish it better from MS Small Basic, two separate words, second not all capital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Small_Basic
And my preference depends on what I want to do:
Generally my go to Basic is SmallBASIC but SdlBasic is slightly better with intense graphics and JB has simple GUI and handles very big integers. SpecBAS can do some really fancy graphics but not so fun to code.
SmallBASIC is buggy as hell so can't recommend to others.

Mike, I think uses Free something or other, maybe I will remember the name when he remembers mine ;D
no, just kidding Mike, no really... no really kidding... ;D
Hi bplus,
I'm sorry if I've misspelled your given name; that was an attempt at recollecting the late basicprogramming dot com nightmare experience. No more Marc, Mark, or Marque from me, just bplus, is all. ;)
And no, that's not Free something, that's an advanced fifth generation BASIC interpreter with integrated industry standard assembler and C JIT compilers, that's been proudly called Freestyle BASIC Script Language over the recent 15 years.

Done! Personally, I think BASIC should be presented in capital letters...Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code :)

Thanks Richey,
I will vote now that I am not confused which name. ;)
Do I only get one vote? I mainly use 3.
