    If that was the future of the language, I'm glad BASIC is dead.

      It was not the future of the language. It's starting, as the blurb says, from where GW-BASIC and the old Microsoft BASIC were in the early 1980s. We know what the actual future of BASIC was after those, because that future happened. It wasn't this at all.
