Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "BASIC" in English language version.

Check out "Why Johnny Can't Code," the article that inspired BASIC-256.
During the 1980s, C compilers spread widely, and C became an extremely popular language.
Now I've heard of other languages which supposedly make possible development without recourse to Java, languages like CellularBASIC (which looks a bit like QBASIC) and Hecl (which seems to be based on Tcl).
After some research on the Net, I came across this site about the CellularBASIC. It is a complete BASIC interpreter written in JAVA.
Enter Borland Delphi, which combined Object Pascal with a VB-like visual form builder. Object Pascal was Borland's own language, with full support for inheritance. It is case-insensitive and not much harder than VB for coding, once you get used to typing begin and end a lot (loosely equivalent to curly braces in C). Unlike VB, it sensibly has different operators for assignment (:=) and comparison (=).
Alternatively, one can relive the days of the whole BASIC/Pascal rivalry with Delphi-compatible Lazarus.
