Useless factoid that just popped into my head apropos of nothing:
In ZX Spectrum BASIC, to goto a line number it did a linear scan from the start each time. So it was much quicker to GOTO a low number than a large one. Programs often started with GOSUB 9000 — putting all the one-off initialisation at the end of the listing. You’d then return back to the start for the main loop.
Now I want to create a zine called “GOSUB 9000”.
