Comment on Code Golfing in Commodore BASICparent

Comments

Atari BASIC tokenized source a bit more thoroughly... eliminated spaces, parsed constants into their floating point representation, etc. It did enforce formatting to a degree.

I was always surprised that it did all that, but wasn't any faster than Commodore BASIC.
