People would still program in assembly language, COBOL, FORTRAN, LISP, Perl and Python because there is a lot of pride about it and because there are millions of U.S.A. dollars consumed by code that has been maintained for decades. There is much less such code for BASIC than for those other languages. BASIC would have had to be in LISP's place in existence and would have had to become pervasive after 10 years to have a chance of a BASIC utopia.
