Artyom BologovOkay, I've gotten back to <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BASIC</a>, and this time I dug deeper. Seems like there are means of abstractions after all. There are one-liner functions (DEF FN) and multi-line subroutines (GO SUB & RETURN.) So I can actually structure my programs without <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/GOTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOTO</a>-s! Maybe I'll implement <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/ed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ed</a> in BASIC after all...<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theWorkshop</a>

µPA very nice paper on 4 taboos of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> (explicit control transfer [<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOTO</a>], low-level programming [<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/assembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assembly</a>], <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/flowcharts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowcharts</a>, and global variables) - with a neat theoretical background in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/anthropologic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anthropologic</a> taboo theory.<a href="https://www.ppig.org/files/2000-PPIG-12th-marshall.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ppig.org/files/2000-PPIG-12th-marshall.pdf</a>

µPTracing back <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> language history to the root of the very first (mnemonic) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOTO</a> instruction (jump/branch) I found two different sources:1. In 1954 Nathanael Rochester developed the "first" mnemonic <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/assembler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assembler</a> for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IBM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IBM</a> 701 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mainframe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mainframe</a> computer that uses "TR" jump commands: <a href="https://shrtn.escalar.pt/ZuE5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://shrtn.escalar.pt/ZuE5</a>2. In 1947 the "manual" for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Whirlwind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Whirlwind</a> computer contained the "sp x" mnemonic: <a href="https://shrtn.escalar.pt/FdYC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://shrtn.escalar.pt/FdYC</a>So, which one was actually the "first" to use mnemonics for branching?

µPWell, if you are a computer scientist and your name was <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOTO</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGAWniPGKjc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGAWniPGKjc</a>
