FreeBasic
Nice fast compiler, language has many many features and is backward compatible
with some older versions of Ms basic etc. Language provides openGl support as
well as other 2d and 3d game developement graphics and animation. Works flawlessly
on Linux & Windows distros. Would be curious to see if it can be ported to BSD's.

I program with basic for fun these days, realize it is not really cross platform and there
exist many differences in dialects which cause porting problems. After years of writing batch
files (on mainframes using Ed!) insuring power plant simulations meet ANSI requirements,
I find FreeBasic fun and gets the job done fast for personal use.

Also like Fortran, C, and shell scripts, although i need more study in all of them.
