The BASIC programming language turned 60 years old this month. BASIC was my first programming language.

Years later as a physics undergrad, I learned FORTRAN programming to do data analysis.

But as programming languages go, FORTRAN came before BASIC—and from where I sit, BASIC clearly took inspiration from FORTRAN… and likely, later versions of FORTRAN took cues from BASIC.

My POV: if you learn one, you can pick up the other.
