Does anyone still remember how to write code in Basic anymore?
Sure. But Basic was abandoned totally when Windows took hold. Pity.
As an engineer, it didn't take me long to learn and apply it to solve every possible engineering problem, from Astronomy to structural engineering, hydraulics, coordinate geometry.
Even on Commodore 64s!
The best version I ever used, HP Basic, was never ported to truly fast microprocessors. I often wonder how far interpreted basic might have gone, or how popular it would still be, when run on a microprocessor with a speed of 3.4 GHz instead of 500 MHz.
Anyone, literally, with mastery of high school math could use Basic to do almost anything.
