What is BASIC Anywhere Machine?

 I've had a hard time explaining it ever since I first started thinking about it.  This is my latest attempt.

BASIC Anywhere Machine is becoming:

Imagine Wikipedia (as in the software behind it and everything that makes it work), all existing in one self-editing and self-saving HTML file.

Imagine that one file containing:

• everything needed for BASIC programming
• an interpreter
• an IDE
• all of the programming tools
• all of the programs
• and all of the data for those programs

• and everything to support all processes and artefacts for
• project management
• requirements management and traceability
• source code management
• all things from end to end in a software development process

And all you need along with that file is a web browser:

• offline. online. all fine.
• the device doesn't matter.
• the operating system doesn't matter.

Now, forget about Wikipedia.

BASIC Anywhere Machine is a TiddlyWiki instance.  Because TiddlyWiki has the goods (goodies) to create just about anything.  Don't let the cutesy name fool you.  The thing is a powerhouse.
