Fortunately Script BASIC was designed from the ground up to run in a threaded environment. If I can make it work on Linux as well, I'll be happy. My direction for Android is use B4J (BASIC for Android) with a webservice mobile interface.
I've never owned an Apple device which is why I spend no time on that platform. Let someone else do it is my position. Script BASIC runs fine on OSX (console) but no GUI options other than Gtk which looks like crap on OSX.
