- I learned BASIC about 13 years ago and Pascal about 9 years ago. I use C/C++
- for a long time. BASIC and Pascal is easy to learn. Today, there are a lot
- of RADs are using BASIC and Pascal. Yes, those products are very suitable to
- be the front end of those client/server RAD development. However, compare to
- the compiled code of C/C++, they are very slow and large in size.
