            I hated BASIC the first time around already. JS too, as I dislike interpreters in general. Now, what would you expect me to say to this interpreted interpreter?

            I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

              WWWBasic now obsolete and unsupported. WWWBasic-v2 is what you should be using and it's not backward-compatible.

                        Two wrongs? Really? Start counting[^]. After that we shall pluck apart good old BASIC.

                                That's what Dumb also always says when he executes Dumber's next master plan. The scary thing is how many actually believe it besides him.
