We are re-federating with https://snouts.online. There has been a misunderstanding and @noiob is sorry that defederating so quickly and with that notice has caused so much harm. Snouts.online and @Ace do not support harassment campaigns.

People are making new games for computers 30-40 years old, and that makes me so incredibly happy. https://youtu.be/FLgYkRLsWqY
BTW, that line after the syntax error message isn't one I typed in again. It printed the line & put the cursor at the beginning so I could edit it.
Also, I miss messy full-screen program editors like that. Press Enter, the line your cursor's on is executed. If the line starts with a number, it's inserted in your program, automatically sorted numerically, replacing the same-numbered line if it already exists.

@thatcosmonaut For folks asking when 'literally all women used to be programmers' ... when I first started in 1980, over 2/3 of data center developers (working w/COBOL, OLTP, mainframes and such) were women, as were most all production control ops and supervisors. At one point in the mid-80's my boss was a woman, as was her boss, as was her boss, as was her boss. Very different representation now.
