    Re: Feeling nostalgic I fired up QuickBASIC and wrote a Brain***** interpreter!

    I guess the BASIC for hobbyists notion stems from the fact those languages were kind of looked down upon. Not entirely unjustified either, GW-BASIC for example, while decent back then for writing some simple programs on your home computer was a sluggish overly verbose piece of crap compared to C for example. The later BASICs have come quite far after that though.

    PS:
    Imho Visual BASIC for MS-DOS was one of the best basics back for DOS.
