nemorathwaldThe Jargon Files has this to say about the programming language BASIC:
A programming language ... which for many years was the leading cause of brain damage in proto-hackers. ... It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
I learned basic on the Commodore 64 when I was a kid. I am so screwed.
