 BASIC programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Programming languages of the era tended to be designed, like the machines on which they ran, for specific purposes such as scientific formula processing.
The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny (1926–1993) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College 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.

 BASIC programming language
The original BASIC language was invented in 1964 by John Kemeny (1926–93) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
Many programs, especially on the Apple II and IBM PC, depended on the presence of Microsoft's BASIC interpreter and would not run without it; in this way, Microsoft used its copyright licenses on its BASIC interpreter to gain leverage in negotiations with the computer vendors.
However, by the latter half of the 1980s newer computers were far more complex and included features (such as graphical user interfaces) that made BASIC less suitable for programming.

 BASIC programming language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Most programming languages were too large to fit in the small memory on these machines, and with the slow disk speeds and lack of a suitable editor, a small language like BASIC was tailor made for such use.
The wealth of variants shows that the language is an "organic" language and that it is rather a subculture which deals with computer programming than a fixed set of syntax rules.
In a 1968 article Edsger Dijkstra considered programming languages using GOTO statements for program structuring purposes, harmful for the productivity of the programmer and the quality of the resulting code(Communications of the ACM Volume 11, 147-148.

 Mike Wendland's E-Journal: Old programming language has defenders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
COBOL is one of the oldest still functioning programming language running lots of mainframes today.
But even though it was invented in 1959, even though it was the hopelessly complicated COBOL code that needed to be changed in the much-hyped Y2K mess of 1999, it still has its defenders.
The name of the game when many of those programs were written was to save space on cards, tape, and disks (and the time it took to read those media in those days).

Clear -- A program is more than a set of instructions telling a computer how to solve a particular problem, it is also a document precisely describing a set of problem solving procedures.
A programming language needs to be comprehensible to the computer the program will run on and clear to the programmers who write the code and future programmers who may have to modify it.
I also found the big drawback of writing programs in your own language: when your program has a bug, you don't know if the problem is in your program or your language.

MBASIC was developed as an option to have a simple programming languageavailable to users who are beginners in computer science.
The language is similar and has characteristics of many BASIC implementations, it is very simple to learn and has an editing environment to allow the user to create, test and deploy BASIC programs very quickly.
The binary "mbasic.exe" is the actual interpreter engine and it is necessary in order to run the developed programs, the engine is automatically called by the editor environment, such functionality makes very easy to develop and test applications inside the editor environment.

The best known compiled versions are Microsoft's QuickBASIC and QBasic (a version which does not generate standalone programs.) Some versions of Visual Basic are also compiled, though Microsoft has kept Visual Basic at least minimally compatible even with early versions of its own BASICs.
Other variants include RapidQ, a free cross-platform BASIC compiler with additional capabilites for console and GUI programming, and HotBasic, with extended Rapid-Q-like syntax but generates smaller executables.
