- My coding style has made it mostly unmodified through every language I have coded in since around 1977.
- The minor changes required have been a lot less painful than trying to keep up with the proposed standards for all of the languages I have encountered in that time,
- A far from exhaustive list of those languages is:
- Punch card DEC 10 and IBM System III Pascal.
- Punch card COBOL.
- Punch card FORTRAN on DEC 10 and 20.
- Motorola 6800, 6809, 68000-68060 assembly code.
- Apple and Super PET 2000 UCSD Pascal.
- Commodore CP/M Pascal.
- Python.
- Structured BASIC on Amiga machines.
- Highly modified but still recognizably on all forms of Microsoft BASIC that came on Apple, CBM, Atari, and other 8 and 16 bit machines or their first cartridges.
- In short, your complaints about my coding style will be ignored unless they are genuine improvements which I can include in the next iteration of my style.
