"We didn't know it was supposed to be impossible."
Amusingly, the first computer bought by Dartmouth College was budgeted as furniture, as there was no budget for a computer.
The need was to streamline computing - to turn a single-thread machine into a time-sharing device. This required some rules. This became what is now known as an operating system, then called DTSS (Dartmouth Time-Sharing System).
BASIC = Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code
BASIC thus ran on top of DTSS.
The drive to create the impossible comes from a personal dissatisfaction with the possible.
It really doesn't matter what other people want; you don't need any market research or surveys.
If you need something, then chances are someone else will appreciate that too.
If you see a gap, and you see people avoid that gap without even noticing they are doing so, then that's a gap worth exploring.
