		Programming languages of the era tended to be designed, like the machines on which they ran, for specific purposes (such as scientific formula processing or text editing).
		The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
		Notwithstanding the language's use on several minicomputers, it was the introduction of the Altair 8800 microcomputer in 1975 that truly spread BASIC.

		The original BASIC language was invented in 1964 by John Kemeny (1926–93) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College.
		BASIC was intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed—that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
		BASIC nevertheless spread to a number of machines, and became fairly popular on newer minicomputers like the DEC PDP series and the Data General Nova.

		BASIC's name, coined in classic, computer science tradition to produce a nice acronym, stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code,¹ tied to the name of an unpublished paper by the language's co-inventor, Thomas Kurtz (the name thus having no relation to C. Ogden's series "Basic English").
		Prior to the mid-1960s, computers were highly expensive tools used only for special-purpose tasks, which ran a single "job" at a time.
		Almost immediately after its release, computer professionals started deriding BASIC as too slow and too simple;² such elitism is a recurring theme in the computer industry.
