He didn't forget it. It was left out on purpose  There are no pros to the language and an overwhelming amount of cons  |

QBasic is actually Quick Basic, and it implements standard basic, so it isn't a language in and of itself.
Pros:
Easy to learn
Quick to debug
VERY Portable
VERY Stable language
Cons:
SLOW
VERY SLOW
Dead as far as new compilers/interpreters go
No OO support
Oh, and the best pascal comiler right now is FreePascal, which DOES have support for pascal objects, as well as classes. It's not standard, but i think there may be an effort to make a standard... either way if yuor looking for a really good pascal compiler FreePascal is the best. |

People who write the software that makes cars and thousands of other devices run properly, who make boatloads of money doing so.
Which other languages do you consider too old to be of any worth? |

| Perhaps we should tell all of the LISPers still happily using it and its derivatives (notably, Scheme) after 50 years that they should use VB. |

| you only use asm and those languages for rom programming not computer application. Its either java or vb now although there is a demand for php or sql. |

| Not really... I think C and C++ are looked for more widely than VB... |

I said Qbasic as a joke, I wasn't being serious.
