Subject:Re: Ok, so pop *pop* may be a valid lang, but where's basic?

Basic is where it belongs, in the alt., just like you said .. I don't know
from pop, but I *DO* know Basic is pretty much garbage when compared to
other GOOD languages .. (I'm talking just normal, everyday basic, none of
these silly basic compilers that look more like Pascal than Basic to me)
... (come to think of it, they aren't much good either) .. is there any
*serious* development being done in Basic anymore?  Not really .. if so,
I'd like to know where .. anyway, if pop is like ProLog, then at least it
can be expected to be a serious language for its field .. Basic was good,
once, but its not anymore .. if this were the heyday of Basic, surely
there would be a comp.lang.basic .. as for the pop/prolog/lisp family of
languages, they are somewhat still in specialty use and haven't hit the
general development arena heavily, so its more likely we'll see some
"obscure" stuff here .. anyway, who cares?  Just listen and learn about
"pop" .. this has nothing to do with Basic anyway ..
