NeoBASIC is a programming language I'm creating, still in the design phase, aiming to provide a better development experience while transpiling code into a compiled (and general-purpose) language. It's somewhat of an elastic language, combining the best of both worlds: Python (prototyping speed) and C++ (execution speed). The mention of BASIC is due to its faster learning curve, an effort I've been making to ensure the language can be used by computer science beginners.

Today, digital tools (cloud, automation, digital marketing) make resources accessible that previously only large companies had. Startups can scale globally without the need for factories or massive structures.
