It was never alive in the first place.
WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE
Levi Ward
The Draugr want to have a quick word with you.
Ryan Brown
Shortly after the first generation of home computers (commodore 64, zx spectrum, ect)
Brandon Wright
Because the creator is a BASIC bitch
Benjamin Clark
Because it was too basic.
Julian Perry
Because universities don't teach it anymore.
Zachary James
I want to code, not write a goddamn novel.
Jacob Jenkins
lol this
Caleb Wood
Because there is no worthwhile standard.
Ryder White
>it needs to look alien so people think i'm smart
Nathan Harris
>I like typing more
You have a mechanical keyboard that makes "satisfyingly loud clicks", don't you?
Oliver Carter
Because it was slow, and if you wanted anything of decent quality, you had to revert to assembly.
Mason Morgan
>i enjoy writing entire novels of code that run slow as shit
For what purpose?
Isaiah Johnson
It made software development too easy and Jews didn't like that.
Levi Diaz
It's not dead, my company actually still uses it for our intranet. It's horrifying.
Jose Fisher
That's why there's a massive jewish campaign to force everyone to use C instead of javascript.
Easy to program = more employable programmers = faster release cycles and more grandiose projects, more competition, lower wages = more money

Colton Cruz
Meh, he said the same sort of shit about COBOL too.
Zachary Turner
Dumb blanket statement.
Joseph Rogers
>JavaScript
>Not Even Once
Lucas Martinez
same applies to java desu
Landon Butler
That faggot said a lot of bullshit.
He even had his own journal for shitposts.
Alexander Bell
Just because he made one or two contributions to computer science, doesn't make him a computer prophet.
I was first exposed to programming via vb6. It made me want to learn more. 12 years later, here I am designing and programming for embedded systems in C/asm
Joseph Ramirez
Proprietary.
Grayson Watson
still using it.

I really wish all modern scripting languages would add optional typing. I think python just did it.
It makes scripting a big api so much easier. Just look up one or two top-level types and the program writes itself with autocomplete.

Not all BASICs are MS-BASIC for MS-DOS/ Visual Basic
And even then, mono comes with a VB.net compiler
Jaxson Flores
Because it's a shitty language that was cobbled together like Frankenstein's monster endlessly added to and altered without a vision as to what the language should be
Nathan Turner
He's asking WHY, not WHEN, retard.
Michael Brown
I still use VB.
Jeremiah Cox
Everything you do is probably shit though. You should recognize your limits and stay out of system languages lest you fuck shit up with your permanent VB handicap.
Jonathan Lee
He was speaking about the old BASIC, the one with the line numbers and GOTO everywhere.
Zachary Howard
Michael Martinez
Ah yess! Fond memories...
Jayden Fisher
Because everybody could learn it fast and easily.
David Taylor
stop
Leo Ward
A lot of work and research involves making programs "more secure" and BASIC immediately gets rid of 90% of those problems.
Easton Stewart
A large portion of Microsoft Windows is coded in Visual Basic
Jaxson Powell
Still using VB for enterprise class software development
Isaac Walker
Because BASIC users minds got mutilated beyond recovery
Asher Wood
That's visual basic you fucking spazdick
