It's amazing how many completely different languages are called BASIC.
Personally, I've used:
* GW-BASIC / BASICA
* QBasic / QuickBasic
* Visual Basic 6
* Visual Basic.NET
* UniVerse BASIC / Unidata BASIC - these are quite similar and both descend from Pick BASIC
Each of these is a distinctly different language with very different capabilities, but they all share the BASIC name.
- pjmlp 6y agoBecause they all share the common roots of BASIC. Just like C, C++, Objective-C, C#, C--, C@+ do in regards to C.
