Your choices are yabasic and python3-pcbasic. Both of them try
to be something like Microsoft BASIC.

I would strongly recommend learning Python. If you haven't
touched BASIC in the last few years, you won't be any faster
figuring out a new BASIC than you will learning Python, and
there's a far larger community of Python users.
