Always nice having an BASIC update.

> For extra trivia, note that the convention in Visual Basic is to use CamelCase.

This actually traces back to other BASIC dialects already in MS-DOS, I can tell this was already the common convention on Turbo BASIC, and QuickBASIC.

There were also tools that would format to the desired way, long before go fmt became a thing.

If you like QuickBASIC, perhaps FreeBASIC is also an interesting choice.

For many years, it practically only supports Windows, Linux, and DOS. Now add macOS into the list: https://deb.fbxl.net/macos/

The IDEs would format the desired way as soon as you cursored off the line in some cases. This had benefits and drawbacks: it would actually parse the line, so if there was a syntax error, you had to dismiss the dialog and fix it before you could move anywhere. Kind of a pain when you're roughing out code.

Out of modern IDEs for more conventional languages, the one that comes the closest to the behavior I want in this regard is Emacs, which is one reason I've stuck with it lo these 30 years.
