Boot-to-Basic Computers are great fun and excellent for learning but just do not have the stack to build real world applications in 2021 on eg SQL, sockets, SSL, etc

I would love to be able to just turn on the computer and have a simple basic program run a touchscreen interface to my factory SQL systems but we truly must stand on the shoulders of giants in this regard.

(talking about boot-to-basic here no basics that run on an OS and can access the whole OS stack)

Did a search to see if it has been done. Yes, there is an EFI Basic of sorts:

UEFI Basic

Maybe you would enjoy to have a look at Meadow, they support VB.NET.

However it does rely on NuttX for the runtime services.
