Well, Martin, I think you'll like my new programming language. It does
away with all that "unnecessary overhead".
It has handy global variables that do not need to be declared in advance.
They use easy to remember names: 'A' thru 'Z'.
Right now, this paradigm-less language only runs on the TRS-80 model I,
but because of the great demand, no doubt it will soon be ported to the PC.
