You know how modern 3D printers and CNC machines use "G-code" instructions to specify their movement? I learned this tidbit literally yesterday: The first implementation of a numerical control programming language was developed at the MIT Servomechanisms Laboratory in the late 1950s... The main standardized version used in the United States was settled by the Electronic Industries Alliance in the early 1960s. A final revision was approved in February 1980 as RS-274-D. So yeah. Remember what Gibson said about the future... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code
