Comment Comment by sannysanoff Most important thing of basic was not language or compiler.It's that you could LIST. Then move cursor up and edit and press enter. (Not found in ZX, but still ok).Next, you could list, and draw CIRCLE over the program listing. It was live, like smalltalk, but simpler.Reproducing language variants without immersion described above is not full story. parent sannysanoff 6 months ago
