You both can be right. I think there is a reasonable split here:
[1] Smaller languages (BASIC, Pascal?) basically fall in the same class as
scripting languages and are useful to have available.
[2] Huge developer environments make more sense on a more capable operating
system where you cross

The FreeDOS distribution has a "LiveCD" component that allows users to
