RE: Is there a programming language that is combination of Python and Basic?

Though I don't know why you would want to reference lines numbers, I assume 
it's for goto statements or something similar. 
With that said please read:

I would also like to put forth my opinion, shared by many in the community, 
that Basic is actually dangerous as an educational programming language, and 
that writing 
large professional code in it is hard, and actually hampered by the language. 
I'm not trying to to start a flame war here but this post almost made me cry. 

Also python is functional, it's so powerful. Grow and learn to take advantage 
of that. Why hold yourself back?

Hi

I am looking for one of those experimental languages that might be
combination of python+basic. Now thta sounds weird and awkward I know.
The reason I am asking is that I always liked how I could reference-
call certain line number back in the days. It would be interesting to
get similar functionality in Python.

There a very big difference between high level programming, and assembly 
programming. 
Python is a high level language. 
I shouldn't have to say anymore.

Somebody better tell the Linux kernel developers about that!  They
apparently haven't read that yet.  Better tell CPU makers too.  In
assembly it's all gotos.
