the idea of dib isnt basic was pretty simple- i was showing people how to make python script equivalents of basic programs, by creating somewhat compatible functions for common basic commands, then calling those functions from python.
then i started making toy languages that would translate to such calls and include the functions. dib was an early one, the point was pretty much to do a simple translator.
