Yes. We toss a lot of balls and bunch of grapes all over a Microsoft window and desktop, give the novice application user about 50-100 actions. He can choose any, come back or never come back, give him all kinds of options to go on a world trip and leave home (site) sometimes forgetting where his journey started. We call this a good application program and good software that can "do a lot things". Yet we shudder at a reasonably good application programmer using about 20 GOTOs in his work. Why? because the writer of Basic, or similar language could not give the application programmer a guarantee to be able to look after him.
Why so? Because we use C language. I just compiled one program (in another (higher) language - not euphoria). It did not compile under One C compiler. It compiled well in another but would not run, and compiled in a third and it runs so far.
Happy New year to everybody.
