I wonder what domain would BASIC be specific with? :)

Obvious use of mutable arrays? And making "spaghetti code."

Very funny. But there are actually quite a few very nice versions of basic that you could write enormous programs with reasonable structure in, and a number of those appeared very long ago (For instance, GFA basic on the Atari ST and BBC Basic for the BBC Micro).

Not that that is in any way relevant to the version of BASIC on display here, but there was no reason to implement a crappy basic, they could have done it with a decent version as well. (but that would have been a lot more work).
