I myself have just started using FreeBASIC, because my brother might be 
programming again and I wanted to find him a good BASIC dialect. While 
it's great to just get a program up-and-running with gfx, input, etc., 
it's an absolutely horrible language in all other respects. It's been 
maybe a week since I got into it, and I'm beginning to realize that any 
advantages I thought it had over C are far outweighed by its manifold 
problems.

The basics of C++ aren't so hard to learn, and it's nice to know 
exactly_what_data_types you are using. The code is much cleaner than any 
BASIC. Just make sure you free up any memory you allocate, as you don't 
need leaks.

With C's vector class, you can create easily-manipulated dynamic arrays. 
And if I'm not mistaken, it cleans up after itself so you don't need to 
call a destructor at the end of your code.
