Lemmy isn’t the best place to make up stories about your programming pedigree… it’s kind of a thing here.
Not that I have any way of approving that to you, but I’m not, I just couldn’t honestly remember the last time I was typing code into my Apple II+ , since I’ve been coding for over forty years, they all tend to kind of run together after a while. I usually let the compiler set me straight.
Not sure why you’re digging this hole, but okay… You claim to have 40 years experience, a retired software dev… BASIC has little relevance to the article OP posted… It doesn’t make much sense to post a hello world loop, further you can search for this loop and find thousand of syntax accurate examples, which any engineer would do normally, due to the PTSD of posting on public forums and being ripped to shreds for the most minor of typo…
Why would you claim to run two lines through a compiler to check it? I mean there are endless interpreters and plenty of IDEs that would have caught the mistake as well.
BASIC is a high level educational language to promote CS in the 80s and 90s, What does posting this here, and then misusing semi-colons, do to give you any credibility. Why not Lisp, COBOL or Fortran? Is it because your trying to steal credibility like Microsoft did? Make it make sense!

I’m too fucking old to remember if I needed those or not, so I thought WTF and just threw him in there.
That’s how long I’ve been programming, so long that I can’t even remember the syntax anymore. 😋
