Doesn't your Basic need a compiler? And if so, do you have
a compiler on every system? Or do you need to build your
quick-fix one-of-the-kind tool on some other system first?

With Python you get a fast edit/test/edit/test cycle.
With Basic ou get edit/compile/copy/test/edit/compile/copy/test.

That is, if your Basic compiler is on another system.
