Having written code in the early microcomputer BASICs, I'm reasonably familiar with the context but I think it's a bit overblown. Sure, BASIC was limited in the syntactic sugar that was available to manage program complexity but, then again, the microcomputers of the era were so limited that complexity wasn't really possible without dropping to machine language anyway. And machine language definitely didn't have any of the syntactic sugar of ALGOL 60 or other high-level languagess. |
