Hi.
I never thought this would happen. I figured that with the development of AI, I would completely move on from Small Basic. But despite the fact that AI can generate whatever I need using professional tools, I still constantly want to just "mess around" with this cozy, comforting language. I'm certain it's the same feeling that makes people build with LEGO over and over again.
I wonder, am I alone in this, or are there others on this site for whom Small Basic is like LEGO in the world of coding?

Hi AB,
Exactly why I like it - a very small set of commands and it is fun trying to get it do things not originally envisaged.
I think AI has changed the who;e coding landscape thou where it can be used to create quite sophisticated results without and coding understanding.
Two totally different perspectives, neither good or bad, I just find the SB way more fulfilling and fun.
