Description: Programming like it's 1975!

Tiny BASIC is a subset of the BASIC programming language, originally developed in 1975 by Dennis Allison and others. It was designed for hobbyists who couldn't afford the cost of a full Microsoft BASIC package, or didn't have enough memory to run it. It was meant to be easily extensible, and people extended it from pretty early on.

While very simple and easy to learn, it isn't an ideal teaching language any more. It's limited, and lacks many of the structural elements necessary to teach good programming practice. But it's a fun little language for hobbyists to play around with.

Adapted and packaged for Haiku by Michel Clasquin-Johnson. Tested on Haiku R1/beta5 x86_64.
