    That's proof of bacon being portable. :)

      If Microsoft & WindowsMetro = HTML5_JS_ONLY Then Mood = WTF. End If. I do NOT WANT HTML5 and JS! Also, I'm considering cross-platform. So... Java? C++? Python? Bacon?

        How about noting down language? Start program RichTextbox Shiny Buttons (no ribbon) Status. Every feature in Word. No menus. End program. (Yes, I'm a experienced programmer in VB.NET)

        Actually, everything in VB should start with Dim. Never understood what it means... Dim-witted maybe? :laugh:

        It's an OO world.

                BeFunge is the best for parallel programming. I had written an interpreter one time but it didn't work. There are plenty of them availible for free, though.

                    I'd go with BACON - I'd cross a platform to get at it.

                      If you knew BeFunge then you wouldn't say that. There is no BACON which would beat it.

                        It's a historical thing. In BASIC only arrays could be explicitely declared, with a specified Dimension. Now every kind of variable can be declared but the Dim keyword remained.

                          It's from the misty days of "Once upon a time" when all variables were arrays. The original keyword was dimension, which later flavors shortened to dim (the old comment indicator, rem, is similarly derived from the keywork remark.) A statement such as

                          DIM v

                          was just an abbreviated version of

                          DIMENSION v(0)

                              Dimension almost makes it sound kind of cool... :^) Wikipedia quote: In computer programming, BASIC (an acronym which stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of high-level programming languages designed to be easy to use. Never knew that's what it stood for either! :laugh: BASIC was used before I was even born though... Well, it is probably still used somewhere, but you know what I mean. Ouch, I guess I really lack some historical background knowledge for a VB programmer. Perhaps I should start learning FORTRAN and Lisp and get some historical programmer sense too :)

                                    I especially liked LET. Assignment statements once had to start with it:

                                    LET A = 1
                                    LET B = 2
                                    LET C = A + B

                                    Code sounded much nicer back then. :)

                                      LET C = A + B

                                      Code sounded much nicer back then. :)

                                      Ah, yes. I recall those halcyon days when programming involved requests rather than commands. :-D

                                        If you knew BeFunge then you wouldn't say that. There is no BACON which would beat it.

                                        I dare you to fight between the two languages. BACON would win without doing anything.

                                          I especially liked LET. Assignment statements once had to start with it:

                                          LET A = 1
                                          LET B = 2
                                          LET C = A + B

                                          Code sounded much nicer back then. :)

                                          LET was supported in VB 6.0, wasn't it[^]? In VB .NET it is still a keyword but isn't used anymore :doh: .
