The BASIC cause of death is written that it was seen as a lesser, kids language.

That sentiment may be true to some extent, but fails to mention all of the problems of the BASIC language that made people look into alternatives, none of which were snobbiness.

If that were a real reason, Python would have suffered a similar fate.
