Do they? I had a childhood with Basic when JS and Python would've been available to me, basically because I didn't know better.
I made silly little programs with a friend, and we had grand plans for a Harry Potter themed MMO. Naturally, we started with a loading screen on a timer, (because that's what comes first, right?!) and got no further.
I grew up in the mountains, where everything was at least 20 years behind, and our school was well-stocked with 80s-era BASIC books in the library back in 2003. This was well into the Visual Basic era if we're talking beginners' languages. I still had the experience of typing stuff into Qbasic and I remember that fondly.
