I grew up with many versions of BASIC, the best ones I used were Locomotive BASIC and GFA BASIC. Today's BASIC languages, like FreeBASIC, don't feel like the old BASICs anymore. Furthermore, the power of BASIC in the 80s was that it was on almost every home computer, but that is no longer the case. I think today's equivalent of BASIC is Python.

Python is way too complex and fiddly. Nope, today's best equivalent of BASIC is Go.
Both horrible entry level programming languages. Compared to basic or pascal
