Re: Top programming langiuages of 2024

i used to program lots in various Assembly languages. Got to scratching my head around GOTO. For me it was natural if you equate GOTO with JMP and its various forms :) 73, kevin kc6pob (Yes, i understand that it is possible to write with a modern HLL in which GOTO should never appear. With the older languages, there was not an elegant way of doing so with the syntax of the day).

It would run on a variety of 8 bit and 16 bit platforms and was used extensively in early amateur satellite work (OSCAR 9 and 11) for both ground and satellite systems.
I also came across Forth on a HP 1000 with an MXE processor, using spare opodes. The person who pointed this out to me wanted to do the same thing on our VAX 11/780 but was dissuaded because it was our production system.

FORTH was an amazingly capable language, but it's probably best
described as a write-only language... ;-)

Only thing i see missing is Forth. Now that was a language you
had to screw your head on sideways!
