How about when they invented BASIC

• spogbiper 1y ago
  by "they" do you mean Kemeny and Kurtz at Dartmouth, back in the early 60s?

    Kemeny and Kurtz's BASIC was an ahead-of-time compiled language which ran on time-shared machines; mainframes at first then smaller "mini"-computers. The typical interpreted BASIC for microcomputers was quite a bit simpler than that.

    Pretty sure linguistically the important bit is "when" and the "they" is not defined Like when awaiting pizza delivery, "they're here in 10 mins" doesn't directly relate to a specific guy Could be wrong though And no, to answer your question
