Oh my. My last qbasic project was a crappy bbs system with message boards and whatnot in 1994.

I thought we all took qbasic around the barn and never spoke of it again.

How come it is becoming popular again? I seen pascal trending too, why???

The software industry is on a mission to re-discover Basic and Pascal.

But with "new and improved" syntax for political and marketing purposes. See Python for example.

Re-inventing tech debt like its 1994 ;-)
