I like the choice of Lua and SDL, not only as a modern LOGO/BASIC alternative. I think it can go much further.

I guess as a minimum you want the editor to function to the level of notepad/pico/nano, and then perhaps have helpers with regards to indenting, and after that error marking similar to that of QBASIC, and after that syntax highlighting.

You might be surprised how "modern" BBC Basic is, even today.
