In fact, in I think nowadays one of the big problems is, we do not really
have anything similar to BASIC to teach really young kids. Python, which
they usually try to use for this purpose is way too strict in its syntax,
and complicated. Just like most modern languages (Pascal/Delphi included).

As a former OS/2 user I find REXX (Regina Rexx nowadays) very versatile
