Why do you say so? Python 3 is a nice and clean
language with all the features you would expect
from a good programming language. Fedora Linux
and FreeBSD are millions of times more advanced
than poor old C64. Programming in BASIC using
the horrible C64 screen editor is nothing but
a bad joke in 2026. I have to laugh thinking
about it... Hahah!

BASIC on a C64 lacks almost everything:
no proper WHILE looping, no proper
function calls, no proper data structures,
identifiers are only valid for the two
starting characters. C64 BASIC is beyond awful
and should never be used in 2026. Why would
anyone torture kids with that lame BASIC?

C64 is a great platform for learning
assembly programming though but even so
you should write the code on Linux or FreeBSD
using a proper text editor and a cross assembler,
testing your program with VICE.
