There was Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, or BASIC, created
in 1964 to teach uni/college students programming, and derived from FORTRAN.
It was originally an interpretted language and I don't think much
application outside of teaching institutions until micros came along and
someone decided it was the ideal language for them
