Which is probably why some dialects of BASIC don't capitalise the word, instead focussing on the fact the language is 'Basic' in it's structure, exotic datatypes, and general syntax.
Capitalising has nothing to do with this in almost all cases though.My point was also that the Basic language has gone far beyond the "'Basic' in it's structure, exotic datatypes, and general syntax" and has matured into a proper professional complex language.
Btw, it never used "exotic" datatypes. The datatypes used in almost all dialects are normal datatypes you can find in any other language. It wouldn't make much sense to use "exotic" datatypes anyways...
