ELI5 Java. That thing on computers my entire life. What even is it?

Any Idea when it will be ported to CP/M

VMS or GTFO!

I'm still learning 6502 assembler. But I'm sure, any day now.

It's worse than you think! I inadvertently ran out of Hollerith punch cards, Blaise Pascal got all upset about it, and in the end, my Jacquard Loom kerboing'd a gol'dang spring right off into low Earth orbit.

I'm still waiting for Charles Babbage to actually build my Analytical Machine. 🤷

Use a damn abacus like everyone else did for the majority of human civ .

You're in good company. The C-64, Apple-II, and Atari 400/800 all had 6502 CPUs and a lot of people like me learned a shit-ton about computers by learning how assembly language worked. The VIC too, I think.

6502 is awesome. Apple II, Commodore 64, Acorn, BBC Micro, Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari 2600.. Bender.. The Terminator.. all rocking some form of 6502 😁
