Note: QB64 (which is mentioned in the video) is a modern-day reimplementation of QBasic. It doesn't have to be legacy. Some people still prefer using Basic as their "scripting language" for quick tasks where other people would be using Python or JS these days.

Although I never cared much for the language itself, I continued to write small programs in QB for many years because of its ability to produce an EXE file that ran in DOS and Windows without any dependencies.
