The BASIC language isn't that complex compared to modern languages
where people are finding AI as a useful assistant, like it or not.
Think of it like old-school "pair programming" that gives you
a friend in your cube to talk to.
BASIC is not "ancient" although I suppose one could assign a vintage
year. Plugboard programming is ancient, at least in the area of
electronic computing.
