I see again and again that Basic is apparently only used as a programming language for games etc., for example, but so Basic never gets rid of the "little-kids" level. Not that I want to deny games etc., but you can also develop serious programs with Basic, not just colorful circles and jumping who-knows-where.
So you can for example, write a program that calculates an additional payment to the pension.
An example: You take out an additional insurance into which you pay 3400.00 €/$ per year for 25 years. If you then go in pension, the program shows how much you can then have paid out from the supplementary insurance per month and for how many years. For me, this is a really practical program. There is certainly room for improvement, but this is something that can be used practically.
And in my very personal opinion, this is the only way to get Basic out of the gaming level and make it (again) a serious programming language.
That's my point of view.
