Easy-to-use language that drove Apple, TRS-80, IBM, and Commodore PCs debuted in 1964.

I was definitely a Commodore kid, and BASIC was my first language. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I still like BASIC for hobby stuff.

    GPL BASIC. First language I learned when I was 5 in 1984.

    10 PRINT “Hello world!”
20 END

      GPL as in the GPL? I thought that was first published in 1989

        Oh, I guess I was just using Apple’s Intiger BASIC then!
