: Generally speaking, the most interesting stuff (at least for non-programmers) involves ties to "real world" mechanisms. And these are invariably platform specific. These tasks tend to look simplest in languages which specifically target a platform which matches the task assumptions. More portable languages tend to struggle (multiple implementations? cross platform portability? just ignore the task?), and languages targeting conflicting platforms tend to also struggle (approximate? weasel? ignore?).
: It's a tough issue (along with drifting interfaces, deprecation, version changes and debugging), so we just do the best we can. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 17:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 
:: Ok, I decided it's best to omit SmileBASIC from most filesystem tasks, as the tasks have very little meaning in SB context. It's more interesting to demonstrate the use of data stored in files than to create poor approximations of classical filesystem access.
