Got me thinking: could of course create lisp macros to make this easylang, and it would be a cool way to get someone started on lisp, brining in harder concepts later.<p>If it weren’t for BBC Basic I wouldn’t have started coding as a kid. Assembler was too hard to grok. The books said “Load the Accumulator” and I didn’t really get what that meant. The book could have explained it better. But in any case there is a place for easy languages.<p>Another way to do this would be in Go - the language famous for being easy to learn (but not as easy as a turtle or basic). Again just define functions for theses things in a library then you could have something very similar.
