Perhaps we could help steer the project more towards SBasic by
implementing such things as channels. Has anyone here got the skills,
time and motivation to do this. Our company is considering porting this
to ARM (Raspberry Pi included), but we need to study the licence. If we
do I'll try and make it policy to use SBasic as the programming model to
use when enhancing the language.

On the home computer front,
On the scientific front,
I forgot to mention the SpecBAS project by Paul Dunn (http://specbas.co.uk).
It's a BASIC interpreter based on the old ZX Spectrum's BASIC, but much
improved, more powerful and multiplatform. It is still alpha but looks quite
promising. I think it soon will suit the needs you mention.
There are binary packages for Windows, Linux (Intel) and the Pandora's
Ångström (http://openpandora.org). It's written in Free Pascal and it's open
source, so it can be compiled for other platforms as well.
In fact I'm considering SpecBAS as an alternative to SBASIC for a couple of
game projects under development. The source code conversion would not be
difficult, and the benefits would be remarkable: wider audience; easier
programming of sounds and graphics; and the chance to be able to contribute to
an open and evolving project.
