"GOSUB" is the syntax used to call subroutines (functions) in BASIC:

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?

1. No, unless you actively disable your brain's pleasure center

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

> unless you actively disable your brain's pleasure center

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

> obsolete, pre-modern language

but enough about Visual Basic (which still has gosub)

Oh no! Don't tarnish the rust!

Then they'd have to use Ruby

There is always room for the go version as GoSub-go /s
