Which is horrendous. In the forty years since BCPL (go was 2008?) the best way we could coordinate groups of developers in developing applications is to type streams of ASCII text and save them on disk with 0x0A indicating "the human wants a new line here". FML. Imagine if, to change the graph of your Facebook feed, you had to checkout myname.person, add "friend Bob { ... }", and then try to commit it. But far more complex graphs of objects, classes, ASTs of implementation, sure, ASCII is fine for that. It's embarrassing is what it is. I'm not saying it's not hard to come up with something better, but it's been fifty fucking years now.
