Are there any hints for when the BASIC compiler will be released?

As for your other comments, a lot of companies are jettisoning Java
Almost all big companies use some Java.
Android apps.
Custom backend applications - today that would typical be SpringBoot micro-services running in k8s.
Used by platform software:
* ActivemQ/ArtemisMQ, Kafka etc.
* HBase, Cassandra, Voldemort etc.
* Lucene, SOLR, ElasticSearch etc.
* Spark, Hive, Flink, Flume etc.
Difficult to avoid.
Microsoft is not a traditional Java shop., but one of their Java people revealed that Microsoft internally run 2 million JVM instances.

IMHO, Cpython is the only way to go.
If "Python compatibility" is a requirement then CPython is the obvious choice. It is the original. Any other implementation may not work with some modules.
But those looking for performance may look for alternatives: PyPy, Cython, Codon, GraalPython etc..
Those that need Java interoperability look at old Jython or newer GraalPython.
Those that need .NET interoperability look at old IronPython or newer Python.NET.
There are options.

We anticipate that BASIC will come out with the next product announcement from VSI.
