Basic was meant for beginners, VB is quite easy to learn syntax wise, but
everything else require quite some knowledge.
Hypercard is for Macs, isn't it?
I'm talking mostly about VB, but I think that other languages (except
fortran? I have heard, but never used it) sacrifise a lot in order to be
easy.
You are correct, of course, I ignored those languages.
