Basic was my second programming language after Logo[1] in the early 90s (I was in 5th grade) in a third world country, on very slow computers that a factory had donated to my school after they had passed their useful life for the factory. In such an environment basic was amazing. Low barrier of entry both from computing and knowledge perspective. Easy to learn and create a lifetime of love and passion for programming and all things computers in people like me.

Curious author here. For me, Logo was a curiosity covered in chapter 6 of the manual. I wonder what the experience of learning it first was. Was it mostly like vector art fun, or did they teach more advanced concepts too?
