Some of them might be aware of Basic.

Back in the later MS-DOS days, Microsoft used to ship a Basic
interpreter for free with MS-DOS and (apparently some Windows versions):

I've just discovered there's a version of Microsoft QuickBasic for Linux:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBASIC

which I did not know about.

Just been reminded that Gorillas.bas was released 30 years ago.
