Most dialects of BASIC didn't have booleans.

Everything old is new again.

And most assembly languages don't have general-purpose booleans. And C89 doesn't have booleans. And FORTHs don't have booleans in the base interpreter, those are words defined like any other.

Most BASIC dialects map booleans to integers with zero is false, non-zero is true and -1 is the canonical true result of boolean operators, so I think they effectively have booleans.
