4:19:03beachIt is unbelievable that we still use technology that was designed 50 years ago to be a stripped down version of something really good, so that it could run on a PDP-8.
4:19:57beachAnd it is unbelievable that our programming languages still try to make us think that we are programming the bare computer with all its memory available to us as a sequence of bytes.
4:23:53beachOh, and apparently, most transistors in a modern processor, and most of the power it uses up, exist to make us think that we are still programming a PDP-11.
4:24:12beachSo much for the "high-tech" discipline we are working in.
