Thanks for the pointer. And it makes it doubly confusing. Doesn't a reference to an obsolete, pre-modern language tarnish the reputation of Rust? Doesn't the creator of this project fear lawsuits from the legal team at The Basic Foundation?

2. No, because GOSUB (the Basic keyword) is not a trademarked term owned by The Basic Foundation

Wait, you can toggle that thing on and off? I knew I've been doing something wrong!

Oh no! Don't tarnish the rust!

but enough about Visual Basic (which still has gosub)
