I just came across a new BASIC implementation for Google Android application called Simple. You can read about it here:

Clearly, a lot of time and effort has been recently put into enabling this functionality for Android.
Should the software industry continue to encourage non-programmers into learning BASIC, or are modern languages like C#, Python, Ruby more appropriate at this time?
