There is much less such code for BASIC than for those other languages. BASIC would have had to be in LISP's place in existence and would have had to become pervasive after 10 years to have a chance of a BASIC utopia.I have programmed in ASM this year. It's not a standard thing, but for C=64 and APPLE2
BASIC is mentioned right at the beginning. Thought this was worth sharing. The poster doesn't even know about the microcosms of tribes that still exist writing and making great things with BASIC sub-dialects (yet). I've subscribed and will share some QB64 stuff with them. This channel is fantastic, btw.
Check out this great video I found on the Programming Iceberg !
