It is about BASIC turning 60 this year. This the language a lot of us cut our teeth on and learned how to program in.
And the infamous GOTO and GOSUB commands - the
creators of spaghetti code!
Happy birthday BASIC!

It is about BASIC turning 60 this year. This the language a lot of us cut our teeth on and learned how to program in. How many posts have been written about modifying some BASIC code for a BBS or something else? The things we did back in the day with BASIC! We had to be smart in our programming, watching memory sizes and making sure we packed as much code on a line as we could. And the infamous GOTO and GOSUB commands - the creators of spaghetti code!
Happy birthday BASIC!
