This is not really a thing yet.

Hoo boy; we have all sorts of formatting options here!

10 print "goto 10";
20 hello world!

Languages that used line numbers didn't use semicolons to mark the end of a statement.

Also, this program would just say "goto 10" and then would popup an error because "hello world!" is not a statement.

But I'm just being silly.

Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)
