This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.

    More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.

    On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more ... or less) per function.

    I started with VB3, which didn't have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.

    I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.
