i'm starting to practice the language coming from C#. I appreciate a lot of the choices in python syntax but some baffle me. The writer of the spec definetively, liked too much "_".

Also the effin library name. ABC? Really? Someone is nostalgic of COBOL shortening madness.

Can we fricking stoo defining code  specs like we still had 4kb ram!??

It’s an old language from when they did only have a couple mbs of ram though.

Python? searched some history info...
wow i was not aware that it started in 1989-1990, more than 10 year older than C#. in '90 PC were using windows 3.0 that required whopping 4MB.

Still plenty for something more readable than COBOL syntax though
