Btw I had my son download SD and see if he could learn a bit of MV BASIC (he does some web/flutter/Python programming now).
But due to major syntactic differences from UV (which is all I’ve used for 30 years) and lack of good error messages, we didn’t get far.
If your curious: the first one that took a while to figure out (partially because I didn’t expect things to ‘just not work’…had I realized that, I would have suspected the syntax sooner): was ‘while readnext’.
We use this ‘everywhere’.. I just counted our UV codebase (most of the 337 lines are removed but I left a few to give you the idea of how we use it..):
>F WHILE READNEXT -C
starting search for -->WHILE READNEXT<--
grep -ni 'WHILE READNEXT' /u/dsisrc/DA.BP/* --exclude-dir=*
Searching DA.BP==================================================
0147 BATCH.SEND.PROCESS.EMAILS.V2 >loop while readnext batch_id do …
