Can someone write a BASIC (the programming language) interface from FreeBSD to emacs?

Sorry I was stoned as a kite

I found freebasic, I don’t have access to my desktop so I didn’t get a chance to search ports

Basically I want to use basic instead of lisp. Lisp is nice but a little complex, with enough arrays it can be pretty functional

The kernel->emacs thing can be done with a FreeBSD module, I want complete access to the internals of FreeBSD through basic and emacs

Let’s say I want to debug a function in the scheduler, id just script it in basic and it does it automatically

It’s not hard rewriting the scripting language in emacs to lisp is it? I have like 15 years experience in c and I have to read the FreeBSD kernel book before I read the kernel source. 

It’d be nice if basic was FreeBSD’s python, writing a ui in basic isn’t that hard, but with classes and advanced basic it’s fun
