More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn’t even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.
I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.
Lol “landed”. We are fucking desperate for drivers. So desperate that one of our drivers totaled two cars in one day last year and didn’t even get suspended.

There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more … or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn’t have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.

Omg you landed my dream job. Another couple years and I can quit this desk shit and go make kids lives better.

One function per file is definitely what grok would output
