    I learned to program in gw basic when I was 12. Also spent hours typing in listings from magazines. Fun times.

    Moved on to turbo pascal after a few years and got into assembly from there. Didn’t get to c++ until college.

    This post comes a bit late - Microsoft announced this four years ago. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/microsoft-open-sources-gw-basic/

      Fair enough. It seems that I (and the author of the article) ended up being a little more retro than initially intended. 😅
