Programmers have it so easy nowadays.

You should try programming in BASIC on the Atari.

Isn't that first artwork from the Atari BASIC book cover? I suffered enough with BASIC on my TI-99 and IBM XT, I can't imagine how rough the Atari version was.

Basic on commodore or turbo pascal on the icon, my first programming languages. Just started learning C++, shoulda started this 30 years ago

Turbo Pascal was great and a big step up over what you could do with BASIC. Good luck with C++.
