Where should I look for retro programming?

Question

I’ve interest to program on vintage hardware and on emulations. I don’t know where to start or even if there are tutorials about that subject here on SoloLearn. I exclude modern versions of old programming languages (CLisp, C, Fortran and Assembler)

Answer 1

This subculture is somewhat hard to find without a magic word from ~1980's.

* In any emu- old hardware search, add the word "demoscene" to your search.

You'll get all the retro vintage codes you can handle, a very large portion of the content themed in oldskoolhacker styles.

Answer 2

These would be the most important to know, when it comes to languages:
C - 70s, K&R in 78 and K&R2/ASCII in 89 (ASCII changes just function declarations and is more type safe)
Resources: K&R(2)

FORTRAN 77/COBOL/ALGOL - simple but limited programming languages.
Resources: You can find tutorials online, but don't be afraid to read the standards with these ones. Generally less then 50 pages.

Random assembly languages: MIPS, 8086, Comadore 64 -- most serious old programming was done like this, at least until C took over.
Resources: use QEMU to emulate them on modern systems.

BASIC: a thing used to program trivial things. Was mostly used by kids to learn.
