Dartmouth BASIC
<language> The original {BASIC} language, designed by John
G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College in 1963.
Dartmouth BASIC first ran on a {GE 235} [date?] and on an {IBM
704} on 1964-05-01. It was designed for quick and easy
programming by students and beginners using Dartmouth's
experimental {time-sharing} system. Unlike most later BASIC
dialects, Dartmouth BASIC was compiled.
