I'm starting to sense a really kick-arse language possibly being designed
OOP is useful, it makes many tasks that mimic life like events much easier. I'm too young to have been alive back then. Hell I was born after C++, which is my main language.
Perhaps you should invest some time into Lex and Yacc and remake BASIC with these powerful qualities.
In my humble but probably stupid opinion all interpreted code is pretty bad, but useful. Python is a great example, amazingly useful but slow. Java is even worse because it's intermediate code.
