arstechnica.com The BASIC programming language turns 60
Easy-to-use language that drove Apple, TRS-80, IBM, and Commodore PCs debuted in 1964.
I was definitely a Commodore kid, and BASIC was my first language. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I still like BASIC for hobby stuff.

Thanks, BASIC, for teaching me so much I had to later unlearn in order to not be a garbage programmer.
The first time I tried another programming language, I was confused as to how to write code without using GOTO.
Some dialects of BASIC had more structured control flow.
