And let me tell you MY opinion. I'd been trying to learn Basic ever since I was a child and I kept doing so until I was 13-14 or so. Then, I tried C and not only did I get it straight away but I found it to be incredibly logical. More than that, you can read Basic code loudly all you want but it doesn't make the damn awful IF, THEN BS more followable code. I CANNOT follow a Basic program if it's more than a few lines long, it has no clear structure.
