BASIC
Who did
it?
Why did they do
it?
Did they do
it
on purpose (as in “for something”),
or was
it
just a “fool” who said some magic words?
Was
it
the fault of the programmer?
Certainly
it
was not their fault,
no, not their fault at all.
No one even cared about computers then.
Except the nerds.
But,
if you were to guess
where all these problems
came from come,
would you guess
they came
from the software industry?
Or,
would you guess
they arrived
from some low-tech area,
something innate to the flesh?
Could you could tell me, to wit,
what programming language
is behind all these problems –
and,
just one last thing –
what compiler the programmer used?
(I would love to know!)
This year,
I’m looking forward to reading
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Programming.
You know, for fun.
