----------
	Languages such as C which require variables to be declared before
	they are used (and which can compile in type conversions) seem to
	have small, simple, compilers and run-time support environments.
	This makes the language widely available at the cost of a moderate
	amount of programmer effort.
----------
The lack of programmer declaration in BASIC doesn't seem to have limited
its availability much.
