It's a text parsing problem.
Write your own compiler and see how difficult it becomes when what appears to be numbers at first are no longer numbers because it has some other non-number in it.
Especially problematic for a language like BASIC where a typo can bring another variable into existence to cause a difficult to track down bug.
