The task I've explained seems easier than one which turns BASIC into some other language from a text editor but it really isn't.
I'm sure, just reading your description we can see how complicated it is!
I'm not sure how much easier or harder it would be for OOP languages, as a start I am focusing on a procedural language (since QB64 is not OOP) where we won't initially worry about dependence on libraries that only Python supports. You'd be able to program QB64 using Python or JavaScript syntax (minus the OO and other features those languages have that QB doesn't). And if you need to do something, you do it the QB64 way - unless someone (re)creates their favorite Python or JavaScript or (insert language/ecosystem here) library that runs under QB64.
But even without the libraries, programmers would now have the option to write QB64 programs using a SYNTAX that they may be more familiar with. Options!!
