I thought this was going to be another rant about strong vs. weak typing.
- jacquesm 18y agoNo, not quite, apologies! I should work on my title writing skills. I was reading the piece posted here earlier about the /. interview with Kent Pitman, he said he started out in some other languages, amongst which was BASIC, and it got me thinking about how I started out with computers. That's what prompted me to write that bit. Imagine playing two player 'snake' on 6 led segment displays and a tiny little calculator keyboard :) We've sure come a long way since the days of the KIM-1, trs80, coco/dragon, apple II, beeb, c64 and all those other great little machines.
