Ask HN: Would a color PET have been better than c64 for high level programming?

1•amichail•1h ago
Hobby programmers in the 80s would not have been distracted by trying to code fancy graphics and sound using low level programming.

Instead, they could have programmed in a high level language such as BASIC and exercised their creativity in a different way that is more relevant in today's world.

What do mean? The Commodore 64 shipped with BASIC. Even the cheap VIC-20 had it. And both machines had a real keyboard, making programming much easier than with the PET and its squashed, square keys.
