- tambourine_man 6y agoSomeone wrote it though. It’s not a blackbox that’s evolved independently for millions of years. We as a species know how to build one, since we did.
- blakesley 6y agoI suppose this makes sense, but at a personal level, the two scenarios seem similar. Interpreters & compilers are blackbox to me, at least. I have no idea how they work, and I wouldn't be able to make one for myself. But sure, someone could teach me.
- neolog 6y agoI can build libc all by myself from source
