Basic was a fantastic choice for a computer back in the day, it was very straight forward for people that never used a computer before and pretty easy to fit into the ridiculous size constraints, most Basic interpreters had a few thousand bytes carved out for it, since many computers of the time had around 64 Kb in RAM and less in ROM.
