it's 2025 you are not going to write either assembler, or BASIC, unless you have a real special case

Rapture (10:53:24)
borland pascal! a word from schoolyard times!

Rapture (10:53:14)
yeah not in 80s

Rapture (10:53:07)
yes, modern basics should be fast enough, so you dont need asm? :))

mirrorbird (10:52:53)
nice BASICs can do this, but it's not too common in 80s stuff

Rapture (10:52:40)
but so cryptic to read, that I personally am out. will never lern it.

mirrorbird (10:52:37)
litreally *every* modern language (not 1980s BASIC) lets you split your program into small parts called functions. which can stand alone

Rapture (10:52:30)
ah i see. more freedom of movement in asm machinecode etc

mirrorbird (10:51:53)
this is why some BASICs really piss me off, because sometimes you want scope/push/pop and you can't do it, although you could do it in machine code. it's supposed to be NICER

mirrorbird (10:51:21)
you might think "if it suddenly interrupts my code won't it fuck everything up?" and/or how do i do anything in that routine. -- generally in machine code you have a 'stack' which is a sort of "most important first" list of stuff to do
