Thoreau BASIC reimagines a programming language left behind
Original: Show HN: Thoreau BASIC – What if BASIC hadn't gone out of fashion?
A new project called Thoreau BASIC asks what programming would look like if BASIC had never fallen out of fashion. Launched as a Show HN submission with a dedicated website, it invites programmers to revisit the once-ubiquitous teaching language. Early reaction is emerging among developers nostalgic for simple, accessible computing and curious about modern takes on classic languages.
Why now: Developers are drawn to nostalgic 'what if' reimaginings of classic programming languages and simple computing.
