The exclusion of any quick and simple programming environment sold with modern personal computers

m posted December 28, 2009

The exclusion of any quick and simple programming environment, such as the Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code language, was the subject of a Salon.com essay by David Brinn in 2006.
