The topic of this post reminds me of the state of 'programming' in the distant future described in the novel "A Deepness in the Sky" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deepness_in_the_Sky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deepness_in_the_Sky): From the article: > "The Qeng Ho's computer and timekeeping systems feature the advent of "programmer archaeologists": the Qeng Ho are packrats of computer programs and systems, retaining them over millennia, even as far back to the era of Unix programs (as implied by one passage mentioning that the fundamental time-keeping system is the Unix epoch)."
