Somewhat obviously, my name is Erik Siers. I'm one of the [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]] cheerleaders on RC. (I can do other languages, but I prefer BASIC by a lot.) I've been a member of RC for a long time -- I created my account in 2009 -- but I am not one of the original crew, not by a few years. I don't really do any edits any more; my last meaningful edit (besides this page) was in mid-2018. |

Computer programs written for one platform are doomed to an early obsolescence. |
|||
I wish I had started with assembly... or C... or anything other than BASIC, |
|||
really. That way, it would've been "Wow, BASIC is so much easier!" rather |
|||
than "Wow, everything else is SO MUCH HARDER!" |
