Re: BASIC as a scripting language
I have used BBC BASIC for Windows in a similar manner. Not quite as simple as an interpreted script, but can be run in an interpreted manner while developing and then "compiled" into a .exe for deployment. Compilation actually just crunches the program and packages it together with the interpreter. Solved a few Windows scripting problems for me, the sort of stuff I'd probably use Python for these days on Linux.
