Include still exists. In modern languages it's generally called Import. Using a Call foo() vs foo() only matters to the compiler. It really is the same thing beyond the compiler.

Wags, please don't ask if it supports GOTO and GOSUB.

Know what? It's all we had back then so forgive me for being old.

I think the key here is that you're basing your impressions of the language on experience you had decades ago. Perhaps it might be better to study and understand the code before making pronouncements about spaghetti code. Programming languages have evolved in the past 30+ years, and they might have even improved in some ways!

Take it easy on the old school programmers. I was a Natural programmer for years. It served me well for at least 15 years before the economy tanked here. I still think in terms of subroutines and includes.

I'm just a young whippersnapper... I cut my teeth on Commodore CBM and Apple ][ BASIC.

IBM PC Jr. and TRS-80 here, then IBM Series 1 and Honeywell CP6. The first box I owned was a 386SX. Stepped up to the 14.4 baud modem because that's how I rolled.

My first ever foray into programming languages was LOGO. Remember that little turtle bugger?

We still used punch cards to drive mathematical operations in the one and only school computer, then shortly before A-levels the first Mac arrived, it had 64k of RAM and weighed about 35 kilograms.

A little bit of Falcon porn for the Saturday evening:

So annoyed I missed the intro sale on this :/

Really great work!

And you went straight from punchcards to the Mac? You missed several generations of the early PCs in between!

Thank you.

No, I went to various generations of Atari first, my first external Atari HD drive had a whopping 10 MB at a weight of 8 kilograms, it died during a live gig and we improvised

Mac wasn't music-ready in the second half of the 80s.

You should see the hard drives for the IBM series one minicomputer- they were 18" rack mount, about 15" tall, and about 18" deep. Weighed about 30+ pounds...10 MB.

I just discussed the evolution of computers with my wife - in the 32 years I have been using them it seems we have made several quantum leaps, but still, all of this can only be the beginning, hoping to stay alive for another 30 years to witness what comes next.

Falcon is way too over-complicated, I much prefer stuff like Diversion that provides results much faster

UVI Falcon - v4 = 2026 released - rumors, ads, praise, kindergarden, auto-sampling and off-topic inside!
