I just looked quickly through that page, and BASIC seems ten times as easy as C/C++ :S
Seems as C/C++ got a lot of more signs, and letters needed to create a code.

There must be some downsides by this? :P

BASIC is higher level, which means that although it may be easier to program, it has less functionality, and it is slower.
Porgramming langauges have a kind of hierarchy that establishes them in relation to assembly(fastest) and to HTML(I am constantly corrected that it is NOT a programming language)

The L in HTML stands for language, its just a highly specialized one :P

As for a language being slow, it depends on how good the compiler is.
