It is? Last I checked, PHP, C++ and Java all had IF / ELSE / GOTO control structures... Besides, programming is 90% about high level logic and 10% about syntax. A *good* programmer isn't limited by the language they have in front of them. They can think logically about the problem, come up with a solution, and then translate that solution into whatever syntax they have.

PBasic isn't bad. At least it's not raw assembly.
