Explain recursion in Applesoft (or any other 8-bit) BASIC.

The tools I have used have, yes, deeply impacted my professional development.

Had I not seen Smalltalk in mid 80's, I would have liked C++. Had I not seen Python and Zope, I would find Java and servlets and all the stuff built on them cool.

Edit: Had I not learned APL (and, to a lesser degree, Perl), I would not write program as well documented as I do now.
