[cctalk] Re: BASIC

[Fred Cisin via cctalk]

I remember that one of the changes that "street" BASICs made was to make 
the keyword "LET" be optional.
Thus, instead of writing
LET X = 3
you could write
X = 3
unfortunately, that further confused the issue of ASSIGNMENT versus EQUALITY, 
and many beginners tried to write
3 = X
while they certainly would not have tried to write
LET 3 = X


Sorry, but off the top of my head, I can't recall the many other 
differences.
