I take offense to the use of "WAS". To me never left the top. Name one other language as easy to learn as BASIC. You don't need structured programming. 99 ways to skin that cat (BTW, I love cats). The only boast to make: To declare your code better was speed and adaptability.
Today it is still the easiest to learn and adapt. I have used what I learned in basic and used it on other languages. I have had people come to me and say "I could modify your code, so easy because it reminded me of my playing with basic."
