- Those that bash BASIC & BASIC programmers are of the same ilk as those that
- constantly claim "my computer is better than your computer." Professional
- developers may well have a favorite programming language, but the smarter
- ones would never totally ignore _any_ other language simply based on some
- immature and illogical bias grown out of ignorance.
-
- Does the end user care what a program was written in? I think not. What's
- important is how well that program does the job at hand.
-
- BASIC has matured tremendously over the years. Too bad some people do not.
