by "they" do you mean Kemeny and Kurtz at Dartmouth, back in the early 60s? | ||

Kemeny and Kurtz's BASIC was an ahead-of-time compiled language which ran on time-shared machines; mainframes at first then smaller "mini"-computers. The typical interpreted BASIC for microcomputers was quite a bit simpler than that. | ||

Pretty sure linguistically the important bit is "when" and the "they" is not defined Like when awaiting pizza delivery, "they're here in 10 mins" doesn't directly relate to a specific guy Could be wrong though And no, to answer your question | ||
