Everything needed to program CGI scripts is located in the gb.web 
component, that provides an ASP-like interface to handle requests, 
responses, sessions, file download, URL escaping, HTTP headers...

I use it to develop a big project in my job : sort of MS-Access on the 
web, with support for Google Maps, GPS tracking, PDF/OpenOffice document 
generation, custom map layers...

By interfacing it with a light web server, I got something faster and 
easier to maintain than anything I could have wrote in Python, PHP or 
Perl. I've never heard from ScriptBasic, so I can't tell you about it.
