| 04:00 | <&McMartin> | oh god this stuff is dire |
| 04:01 | <&McMartin> | I've always found the old type-in BASIC programs to have a certain amount of charm to them |
| 04:01 | <&McMartin> | but this is the Amiga, so we have type-in C programs |
| 04:01 | <&McMartin> | Which turns out to cause even the same authors to suddenly forget everything they'd ever demonstrated they knew about program structure... |
| 04:01 | <&McMartin> | ... but also, it is Glorious Future Year 1986 and C compilers don't even work, not to mention that ANSI C won't be invented for another three years |
| 04:01 | <&McMartin> | So the listings are all full of /* MAJOR HACK!!!!! defining too many constants in a row makes the compiler crash the entire system */ |
| 04:01 | <&McMartin> | int two() { return 2; } |
| 04:02 | <&McMartin> | but also yeah K&R C declarations ;_; |

| 08:55 | <@TheWatcher> | Heh. I didn't really get seriously into coding on the amiga until 1990/91 or so. By that point, the compilers had matured a fair bit - I think it was SAS/C I used, and then maybe Storm C... of course, I think by that point the type-in programs had pretty much vanished. |

| 15:49 | <~Vornicus> | silliness |
| 15:54 | <@TheWatcher> | Oh, yeah. Years ago they drained the pond and moved the sculpture onto a concrete area - so obviously it's now fixed-point zero. |
| 16:21 | <~Vornicus> | that is the saddest trombone |
