There is also a free (except for iOS) version of BASIC (https://www.b4x.com/ https://www.b4x.com/) that compiles to executables that run on Android, iOS, Windows, OSX, Linux, etc. It's very much like Visual Basic, including a visual UI editor, and has a very strong community. The developer (one guy!) often answers questions in the forums.
