Interestingly I also started with basic, having to manually write line numbers, but I’m in my early 30s. I’m wondering if I was exposed to some legacy stuff when young, or if basic lasted a long time. Btw it was on a very big and awkward calculator.
- bee_rider 4y agoMost TI calculators come with a TI-Basic interpreter included, and they are one of the few vendors that is accepted for national standardized tests (SAT, and so on), so lots of 30-ish-year-olds were first exposed to programming there. I don't recall if TI-basic requires line numbers though.
- baby 4y agoI had one of these TI-89 in highschool and they're not like the ones I used when I started writing code (you didn't need line numbers, for one)
