I discovered the introductions of many BASIC languages on Softpedia recently.
https://www.syntaxbomb.com/index.php/topic,8115.0.html

Finally, I discovered the introduction of this one:
https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Coding-languages-Compilers/Aurel-Basic.shtml

When I clicked "visit homepage", I saw the URL:
http://aurelbasicsoft.ucoz.com/

I guessed that this language was made by you.

Some statistics:

15,337 downloads. User ratngs: 3.9/5 (44 voters)

This language is popular and successful! 

The review written by the Softpedia's reviewer:

"The tool does not put a strain on computer performance, since it runs on low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time to commands and works well, without hanging, crashing or popping up error messages. "

"....it offers a simple and effective solution to learning the BASIC programming language."

Excellent!

A little idea, actually, Aurel Basic is more popular than several quite famous BASIC languages. Developing a new version of Aurel Basic may be a better choice? Will be easier to have a lot of followers? Is this correct? Rather than developing a new language(micro(A))? I am only curious.

I can build new version of AurelBasic but then must should be very different that old one
simply because tomes are changed, concept of micro(A) is different even look like basic.

OKay. I see. Aurel Basic's users will be so pleased if a new version of Aurel Basic is released.

The following URL actually doesn't work. If a new official website is set up, Aurel Basic's users will be surprised and excited.
http://aurelbasicsoft.ucoz.com/

I believe that a standard URL(www.aurelbasicsoft.com) can promote Aurel Basic. An awesome logo should also be created for Aurel Basic.

Obviously, a large Aurel Basic user base will finallly benefit the popularity of micro(A).

Well...user base..i doubt that there is a large user base for AurelBasic that was a long time ago
times are changed 

Yes, but micro(A) started from zero. AurelBasic still has a lot of potential to continue to succeed. AurelBasic is a well-known brand. If I were you, I would abandon the development of micro(A). (Moreover, made AurelBasic better or perfect to compete with FreeBasic, PureBasic and ThinBasic.)

[round157]

well micro(A) in current state is a 5 times faster than old AurelBasic, which like many other simlar
basic-like or dialects are no longer any kind of brand.

5 times? micro(A) is powerful!

fact is that many much better dialects are not popular anymore...

QB64's forum and FreeBASIC's forum look very active!

currently i have no any kind of big plans.

SmallBASIC will have a Raylib module. Raylib module may be quite useful. May you also make a Raylib module for micro(A)?

[round157]

, and probably as you know there is not much SmallBasic users left.

Oh. Are you sure? May most users of the SmallBasic community are silent users?

yes only QB64 forum is active ,

Perhaps we need to look into the statistics again:

B4J: 4.6/5 (5 votes)
PureBasic 4.5/5 (142 votes)
FreeBasic 4.3/5 (41 votes)
ThinBasic 4.1/5 (33 votes)
QB64 3.9/5 (74 votes)
Aurel Basic 3.9/5 (44 votes)
DarkBASIC Professional 3.9/5 (10 votes)
Blitz3D 3.9/5 (4 votes)
Just BASIC 3.8/5 (11 votes)
BASIC-256 3.5/5 (21 votes)
IWBasic 3.4/5 (14 votes)
Basic4android 3.3/5 (37 votes)
Xojo 3/5 (48 votes)
Liberty BASIC 3/5 (11 votes)
BBC BASIC 2.4/5 (7 votes)

If we sort the above data according to the numbers of the votes, the top six langauges become:

PureBasic 4.5/5 (142 votes)
QB64 3.9/5 (74 votes)
Xojo 3/5 (48 votes)
Aurel Basic 3.9/5 (44 votes)
FreeBasic 4.3/5 (41 votes)
Basic4android 3.3/5 (37 votes)

We may imagine that the above dialects(exclude Aurel Basic) have bigger user bases than the remaing dialects of the list.
In fact, the following dialects' forums are also active. The following dialects look so successful.

PureBasic ( https://www.purebasic.fr/english/ )
Xojo ( https://forum.xojo.com/ )
Basic4android ( https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/ )
