I personally find coding in assembler for tiny CPU's to be an 
enjoyable and zen-like experience, but there's no reason someone 
very familiar with PICs couldn't familiarize themselves with 
Gambas and write a Gambas bytecode to PIC crosscompiler. 

However, with the limited amounts of RAM on those things, 
nothing's going to beat hand-written assembler.  Well, unless 
you choose a BASIC Stamp for one of your projects, but that 
BASIC is pretty different from Gambas.

It looks like there are other BASIC languages for PICs now:
