    Visual Basic used to let you choose if you wanted to start arrays at 0 or 1. It was an app-wide setting, so that was fun.

        It’s how I got into programming, so I’ll always have a soft spot for it. Now it’s over 20 years later and I’m still coding.

          Apple Basic (on an Apple IIe) was my first language that I recall.

          Didn’t have a computer powerful enough for VB until later. It does have a special place in my nostalgia zone but has also led so many astray.
