It was possible, but the further away we get from building block languages such as BASIC and ASM, the less knowledgeable the programmers become regarding what's under the hood.
Good assessment list, btw. Thanks for putting that together.

That's exactly why I used QB64 as a teaching language in my classroom for so long. Even when I was forced to switch to Python I still avoided libraries as much as possible and taught students how to roll their own code.
