Most of my past programming was with other languages while working for big companies - mainframe assembers, COBOL, Pascal and quite a few others (all a very long while ago!). But here we go:-

Applesoft Basic on Apple II (briefly)
HP 2647A intelligent terminal (adapted Microsoft Basic)
VBA (for MS Access)
Visual Basic 4, 5 & 6
VB.NET (very briefly!)
Basic4PPC (for Windows Mobile, predecessor of B4X)
Basic4Android
PureBasic (Win/Mac/Linux and the most enjoyable :wink:)

Amstrad CPC BASIC (Locomotive?)
Yep, Locomotive basic. Wasn't bad to tell the truth. Then there was Laser Basic for the CPC, very interesting but I didn't personally get much into it.
