I learned Basic on a ZX Spectrum clone when I was a kid.

It was harder to structure the code because there were no functions and subroutines, just line numbers and goto.

No while, no fors. Just ifs.

When I've learned x86 assembly later, it didn't seem too different to me.

This variant of Basic is more close to Pascal for me than the Basic I've learned.
