To be honest, your best bet would be to learn C or Pascal.

PureBasic is pretty neat for DLL writing plus it's crossplatform

oke, pure basic seems easy to learn but doesn't looks so powerfull( I think atleast). I've neverheard about this pascal language... better look it up.

PureBasic is much more powerful than most BASIC languages, since you can make use of inline ASM and easy calls to other libraries (eg. the windows API, or linux libraries).

Pascal, these days more commonly referred to as Delphi, might be your bet. It looks a lot like Basic, but is very powerful. But it's not as easy as basic though. There's still a learning curve.

But it certainly beats C/C++ hands down. It's nearly as powerful, and it doesn't look like greek.

Here's a peek at what Delphi/Pascal code looks like:

Yes, you can write applications with PureBasic. It even has a visual GUI designer.

You can search google for FreePascal, or you can visit the Borland site to download an older version of Delphi. The present incarnation of Delphi is edition 7. You can find free versions of Delphi 6 and oldder on the Borland site.
