Derivatives of BASIC

kapunta

I used to consider FOCAL the only environment that tried to improve on BASIC, until another language like COMAL entered my view. There must be a ton of programming environments like this, developed with their own features and their own cut corners. Few are recorded, maybe we should compile the ones we know of.

kapunta This is a great idea.

When I get home from work, I’ll try and respond a little more fully–

But I would also include languages like LOGO and maybe even little programmable calculator type languages like MITE etc in such a list, under their own heading.
