One of it's more BASIC aspects, yes.
Yes, BASIC, probably the worst programming language that's ever been used. I mean, yeah, it's good if all what you are doing is a "Hello World!" program. But, I mean, an interpreted language some versions of which don't have "WHILE" and "FOR" loops, in which you need to use GOTO statements? An interpreted language of which some versions don't support long variable names? And of which most versions don't support structures, yet alone the handy prototype inheritance of JavaScript? Hell, making actual software in BASIC is worse than making it in Assembly.
