We all miss BASIC until we actually go back and use it, at which point it starts to hurt us. This usually happens the moment we want an array and have to frig around with DIM.
The notable exception to this is Acorn ARM BBC BASIC which is quite surprisingly awesome compared to most dialects of BASIC and features everything you'd expect in a normal language.
- FourthProtocol 14y agoEven though the first language I learned back in 1986 was Logo (BASIC was the second), and since then have delivered production code in assembler, Pascal, COBOL, C, C++, JavaScript, Java and C#. Today Visual Basic.NET is my favourite language, and I program in it every day. Other than REDIM and REDIM PRESERVE, how do you need to "frig around with DIM"?
