I don't know about Scala, but somebody did embed basic into Haskell: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/BASIC/0.1.5.0/do...

However, it's at least partly taking advantage of the fact that normal Haskell actually looks (in shape, anyhow) vaguely like basic as is. At the very least, Haskell doesn't force you to use parenthesis or braces everywhere.

Here's an example: http://augustss.blogspot.com/2009/02/is-haskell-fast-lets-do...
