    Back in the 1990s, my youngest uncle kept telling me to learn #COBOL instead of #Java (though at the time, I was taking courses with Microsoft #BASIC ... and later took both COBOL and Java, along with #Pascal, #Visual_Basic, #JavaScript, #Perl, #PHP, and more).

    At the time, he was making $100,000+ and taking time off whenever he wanted. I think he made a lot more during the fixes that prevented #Y2K from becoming the expected meltdown, but he then ran into headwinds because foreign programmers were being imported to do the work for a lot less than what he was accustomed to earning, so he retired.

    I thought about this back when the lockdowns geared up and state governors were crying about lacking the COBOL programmers to fix their unemployment insurance systems.

    Any #Commodore64 fans out there? I just found a wiki dedicated to the old school #BASIC-driven computer-in-a-keyboard:

    Another great episode. I'm not neurotypical, and I was a classic "computer nerd" at school. I was into video games, programming (a bit of #BASIC and #Pascal), #SciFi and fantasy, D&D etc. I was a school librarian all through school, and at high school I was part of the nerd crew who hung out in and around the library. I mostly abandoned this around the time I left school, and only came back to hacker culture later via activism, and being involved in projects like #Indymedia.

    http://mmbasic.com/ A #BASIC for the embedded device world (and also MS-DOS). I don't know whether it is #embeddable in the sense of embedding it in an application, but it showed up in my search.

    This was my first programming manual. It was for an Atari console that could be booted into #BASIC. It had no permanent storage, so programs would disappear after you turned it off.

    I was about six. I couldn't speak English very well yet, let alone read it, but I was able to copy the programs from the book and see what they did. I remember being happy I got the random-number guessing program on page 35 working:
