How long have you personally been programming in a specific language ? 5 years, 10 years, 15 years ? This developer has been using BASIC for over 30 years and my first exposure to BASIC was back in 1975, which is over 40 years ago.

Also misunderstanding “why” BASIC is so loved by many, those who have tried to reinvent BASIC have only made its demise come more quickly. This common view discourages the development of a new generation of BASIC programming languages. “Obsolete”, “for beginners only”, “unstructured”, the descriptions go on. Mention BASIC to a current software developer and one quickly finds out that it is not viewed favorably by most programmers. BASIC is one of the most misunderstood programming languages!
