Tron

"Control. Order. Perfection. None of it meant a thing."
"Chaos. Good news."

- Flynn

When I got hooked on computers long ago, "TRON" was one of the words staring back at me, in the editor of the BASIC programming language:


This is what the first computers I had access to booted into.

TRON stands for TRace ON, and is used for debugging - figuring out what's wrong with a program.

Oh yes, I completely forgot that the old IBM machines had the language in ROM. I was thinking it was a really odd autoexec.bat setup or something.

I know Go exists, but I don't really know anything about it. It's been years and years since I've programmed seriously. Maybe I'll look into it just to see what it's all about, though.
