  1. You know, when I was first learning computing, back in the 1978-1981 era, *everything* that I cared about was open source.

    We just didn't call it that back in the heyday of 8-bit interpreted languages.

  6. RIP Thomas Kurtz, most famous for being the co-developer of the original BASIC programming language at Dartmouth. #ComputerHistory #programming #BasicLang computerhistory.org/blog/in-me…
  7. Acabo de reescribir en Julia el primer programa que escribí en Basic (hacia 1983 🧟‍♂️):

    ```julia
    begin
    @.label l10
    println("Hello!")
    @.goto l10
    end
    ```
    (Hay que quitar los puntos después de las @, es para que mastodon no crea que son cuentas.)

    Y, sí, hay un GOTO. Es una tontería, pero me ha alegrado la mañana 😃.

    Aunque no hayáis usado nunca Julia, os podéis imaginar el resultado.
