Today C is also a retro programming language, but the syntax is quite different to BASIC.
Learning the basics of C is quite interesting and you can compare the pros and cons with BASIC. C is one of the prehistoric rocks of all programming languages.

RIP Dr. Thomas Kurtz - inventor of the BASIC programming language that became widely used in the 1970s and 80s for programming minicomputer and home computer systems.
BASIC made computer programming accessible to a wide audience that included students, scientists and businesses due to its easy to understand syntax, immediately runnable code, and widespread availability. My earliest explorations of the software world involved writing BASIC programs, and I'm very grateful for Dr. Kurtz's contributions to the world of computing.

Apricot XEN (1985) 🍑
Released in October 1985 and developed by Apricot Computers, the XEN series was designed to compete directly with the IBM PC-AT.
The Apricot XEN series included three main versions: XEN FD, XEN HD, XEN WS.
The Apricot XEN was powered by the Intel 80286 processor, depending on the model, the XEN came with either 512 KB or 1 MB of RAM.
The XEN FD model featured two 720 KB floppy disk drives, while the XEN HD included a 20 MB hard disk drive. The XEN WS, a workstation model, did not include disk drives.
It ran Microsoft Windows 1.0, showcasing early graphical user interface capabilities. The XEN was capable of controlling up to 16 stations, making it suitable for business environments.
Despite its innovative design and advanced features, the Apricot XEN faced challenges due to its lack of IBM compatibility.

1987
The X68000 (X68k for short) was a home computer from Sharp that was sold almost exclusively on the Japanese market. Therefore, all original programs and the operating system are in Japanese, which prevented it from being distributed outside of Japan.
It was launched in 1987 as the successor to the Sharp X1, and the last models came onto the market in 1993. The computer even went into standby mode at the push of a button, giving applications time to shut down properly and write data to the hard drive.
