Basic can help you out. At the first Interz0ne, I ended up being giving a second unplanned talk. I needed to whip together some code, and the only thing I had was a Basic Compiler. I basically wrote ctime.h, used it for an app and gave my talk.

2 months later I get an email asking me to come interview for a intership at SpiDynamics, a local security company. After meeting alot of folks, I met the founder, a guy about my age in a Nirvana T-shirt and Tevas. First thing he says to me is

"Sir Dystic tells me you have some 31337 QBasic skillz."

It was a strange interview.
