About - EndBASIC

Motivation The computers of today are too complex to understand. To the uninitiated, they feel overwhelming. They take a long time to boot. They offer cluttered interfaces with lots of icons, buttons, and options. They are built on dozens of layers of abstraction. And because of these reasons, they feel fragile and not something that can be experimented with. If you want to learn to code today, you face a steep learning curve. You need to understand how to open and operate an editor. You need to understand the file system so that you can navigate to the files you create. And you need to understand the basics of the command line to maybe-compile and run whatever you wrote in the editor. This is tedious and incurs a ton of mental overhead just to get started.
