>>18627 (OP) Python is a bloated mess of course BASIC would be faster, probably even without optimizations. But good luck getting anything useful done in BASIC, it's meant to learn the basics of programming not to get anything done.

>>18627 (OP) What like VB .net? No. It's same shit. Your objective in both cases is punt to native code as fast and often as possible.

>>18627 (OP) AskAI told me that you could make modern programs in basic so now I want to learn it just to make a rusttranny seethe

Whole 3D games have been made with BlitzBasic/DarkBasic, and FreeBasic seems to have a somewhat positive perception like FreePascal/Lazarus aswell. Go nuts.
