    Many moons ago I was in a very heated argument that you could write a fully functional program in notepad.

    I was trying to explain what COM files were, they just didn’t understand enough about it.

      That seems like an odd thing to argue against. Did they mean that it wasn’t possible? Or wasn’t a good idea? Or was this before scripting languages and the point was you needed a compiler? So many questions

        Yeah to clarify their point they didn’t believe me that it was possible to write executable code outside of an ordinary scripting language.
