No, and I don't miss it because I don't feel like was actually "simpler" than what I use today. Almost anything I could have done easily in BASIC in 1992, I can do more easily in Python now. The exception might be drawing ASCII graphic games, but I don't have any desire to make such games today, and if I did, I could just learn how to use TCell or whatever.

- agent008t 7y agoIs there an equivalent for Python?

- dwculp 7y agoI agree, BASIC is a novelty and it holds a very special place in my heart. I first started programming in BASIC around 1979 and I used it to do so many things. In the mid-80's as a teenager I wrote my own BBS system on my C64 for it. I loved BASIC. However, today there are far better languages that are easier and are better introductions to programming for beginners. Of those, Python is my favorite.
- Phylter 7y agoPython today is what BASIC was in the 90's and earlier. Though, Python is obviously a lot more powerful but so are computers in general.
