My first professional development language. It was old, when I started to use it in 1986. You had to be disciplined - 'cus' writing spaghetti was way too easy.

My first professional development language. It was old, when I started to use it in 1986. You had to be disciplined - 'cus' writing spaghetti was way too easy. My style was "structured goto's". :-) You got to remember this language was written on a PDP-7 with 4k -that's 4096 bytes- of main memory and before Edsger Dijkstra's letter "Go To Statement Considered Harmful", published in March 1968. Wrote a simple web server with it for a VAX in 1999. Loved how you saved data to disk. You just but a ^ in front of a variable declaration: ^myData myData could be a "hash map" by doing an assignment with parameters set ^myData("canada", "bc", "yyj") = counter Thinking about it there's not a whole lot of distance between it and javascript. Guess that's why I like JS so much!
