What? Lock this man up for not teaching his son Haskell first! I jest. People take the whole "imperative bad!" thing a little too far. I have fond memories of QBasic and certainly cut my teeth on it as a child. I did more TI-Basic on my graphing calculator since I could do that on the school bus. It can't have been too hazardous for my development since I independently rediscovered the idea of the "game loop" in my meddling.
