- Torwald 5y agoI found it in the students library and I had a C64 at the time and I thought "Wow, this is it! This is the official, real language for the Commodore, 'cos COMmodore and COMal, obvious, right?"
- Cockbrand 5y agoBack in the late 80s, we had a bunch of C128s running COMAL in the computer lab in school. I was quite proficient in BASIC back then and found COMAL's structuredness somewhat narrow minded and stuffy. But then I didn't know any better, and I fortunately learned to appreciate better structured programming languages soon.
