Especially when teaching children, limiting abstractions is helpful.

A 5 year old can tell you what:

    10 PRINT “HELLO”
    20 GOTO 10

Does. You can basically look at each line In isolation and figure out what is going on. There is no nesting or scopes.

In addition other than the quotes there are minimal additional symbols. Even parentheses in a function call can be confusing.
