> There's never been anything quite like Qbasic. Bundled with the OS, providing clear and relatively foolproof syntax, with an ability to get graphics onscreen extremely quickly. Plus, an amazing and decently large community of amateur game makers who grow up to be the next generation of professional developers. The C=64, Atari ST, etc. all had decent BASICs and large communities.
