Why assume all coders have formal programming background?
In any case I have been coding on and off for over 30 years without it. (I'm a 
scientist BTW)
C has certain style and Basic, even modern basics, has a very different style. 
Mixing the two would result in a mismash that would affect  EVERYONE using RB 
because everyone looks and learns from open source RB projects.
As far as i can see, C operators would not be any great advantage beside a 
little less typing and the loss in reabaility in that more "professional" 
syntax would make teh language less acessable and the code less readable.
