Why Gosub if it isn't written in Go? Should have been called Rustsub ;-)

Personally, it reminded me of BASIC, not go.
Someone else should write a browser engine called “Godom”. Which honestly would be a great name. A good browser will handle sessions and DOM.
Would someone please fix this GODOM browser that keeps crashing... Lol

Ok, I'll see myself out now. ;-)

The name gosub reminds me of the BASIC command, and at first I was expecting it to be written in FreeBASIC or some other BASIC dialect.
Gosub is kind of an acronym. I don't really like it, but yeah Gosub and go would be more similar than to Rust
