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

Not hardly, I use VBA every day in Excel & Access. The example
I mentioned WAS from the 80's.

I don't see any need. Of course, you're the one who's view is muddied.

Try UBASIC. And I didn't say modern BASICs were like those of the
80's,
I questioned why anyone would want to return to such systems as
existed
in the 80's.

And I wasn't refering to that, I was specifically criticizing
the jumping to random line numbers within the program. Can't do
that in a modern BASIC? Fine, but who's asking for that? The OP.

As I said, I use it (VBA) every day and have probably written
more BASIC programs than you've had hot dinners.

Thanks, but I'll give it a miss.

Of course, but why would the OP think that someone's trying to make
a language that makes spaghetti code easier?

That was my point.
