This is not really a thing yet.

^(Edit: I think it is now.)^

Hoo boy; we have all sorts of formatting options here!

10 print "goto 10";
20 hello world!

(Personally, I liked to spell it GO TO wherever it’d let me)

    Checking in… Love the Commodore pic. Started coding on a C64 then Amiga (Which I still have). Do it as a job now on a boring Windows PC.

      Thanks :)

      I haven’t announced it anywhere public yet (= our subreddit); I’m totally new to lemmy.

          A bit like a cross between the social media and the insular web forum ages, plus added activism and federation. So… I guess yes. :)

            Yea, I think it’s a good thing tbh. Reddit used to be a big part of the internet, owned by a single company. Now, not anymore and that’s great!

    Languages that used line numbers didn’t use semicolons to mark the end of a statement.

    Also, this program would just say “goto 10” and then would popup an error because “hello world!” is not a statement.

    But I’m just being silly.

      Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)

      ;)

      (That makes it still visibly scroll/add text once the screen is full!)
