Not so much.  Bywater Basic (bwbasic), which is a much-extended clone of GW-Basic, and a clone of Commodore-64 Basic (cbmbasic) are both open source, TTY-oriented, and portable to most operating systems and Windows.  There are lots of other Basics around: see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BASIC_dialects>.
