BASIC is a good place to start, but so is Logo, and there are plenty of modern Logo interpreters such as https://turtlespaces.org


Second this. I myself started with logo when I was 7 years old. Gratification was way more "immediate" than BASIC. After a bit, I moved into Basic, where I spent days and days doing small games, until a family friend introduced me to C and I found Allegro.

I miss those days...


I had a similar Logo -> QuickBasic -> C(DJGPP)+Allegro trajectory early on. What is the modern equivalent for kids today?


Red is based on REBOL is which was based on Logo.
