I hear that DEC BASIC is good, too.
Not bad; at least, not the version I used.
Both of the above examples are compilers, though, I
think.
DEC BASIC certainly was; or at least, it generated executable code. It may
still have run under an interpreter, I know not.
Anyway, the point is that things based on BASIC
don't need to
be all bad. There is little difference between BASIC and many
command languages which are perfectly useable. Now, whether
one would write real software in it is another question.
I wrote a footie manager game in DEC BASIC. Bloody huge it was...
