I really HATE that language... by McNutcase 2003-04-26 02:53:13
worst language ever devised. Can't do pointers unless you use a FOR loop (the syntax for which is nasty), has features nastily like the various BASICs I started off with (not quite numbered lines, but no way of inserting whitespace when you realise you left out an important step), nearest it gets to structured programming is supporting GOTOs (which is evil, as the amount of obfuscation possible with those is insane... heck, I could make it execute in reverse!), only 1-dimensional arrays, max size 99, and requires explicit ending of iterative loops, or a bounded iteration turns infinite and leaps into hyperspace... trying to program a TI-80 is a sure way to brain rot!
Still, it's not that bad for a scripting language that fits into about 6k and leaves space for useful proggies...
