Love the article.

Gave me @fjworld some flashback to many activities I did relating to computer programming. I am not a programmer but I have had some diverse usage of computer languages you mentioned. Back in the 70s I learned some code for analogue computing. I did learn a little FORTRAN. One of my early job was using some JCL and card reader to managed batch jobs on a PDP11

As per personal dev, I remember using a Commodore64 that had GW-Basic. I coded a system to manage my home budget and finance.

I explored a little C++ and I was part of a team that introduced OLE technology in our business workflows. In memory of my IDE experience, I created the PEPTide token on Hive as part of the PEPT traffic exchanging community I am building here on Hive.

Have you heard of Vserver? I remember using a virtual server on a card that was installed on a DEC machine where I could run a PC program on a VAX virtual machine. It was a great transition for moving mainframe applications to the PC world.

Thanks again for a trip in memory lane. I did 9 years in Machine Condition Monitoring where we built an expert system for analyzing huge amount of machine data. The core program that handle the data collection was C and other low level coding. The system allowed usage of macro terms to access advanced functionality. For example FFT Fast Fourier Transform used to convert machine vibration and noise into a spectrum of frequencies. Those macros have evolved to AI languages. LOL

IBM's Job Control Language is a great example of a language designed to communicate with other language.

Integrating machines with code is quite interesting. I did the IT for a company doing Voice Over IP. They would have become a leading telecom company ... except they kept doing stupid things.

BTW: Thanks for the BYTE delegation.

I happen to have 150,882 BYTE already and I don't know what to do with it!

To make BYTE successful, BYTE needs to have a wide distribution of coins. The richlist shows BYTE is too concentrated.

BTW: I use the account @irivers for curating STEM content. I also put a ton of BYTE into the diesel pools

Your welcome on the delegation.
I'm just starting to learn more about delegating and diesel pools. So much to learn. Wonder if a neural chip from Elon would help. !LOLZ

So far the neural chip simply instills an insatiable desire to drive a Tesla while tweeting about the experience.

!LOL

As for delegations, I think the BYTE tribe would be served well by giving tech savvy accounts donations around 500 BYTE.

For a tribe to thrive it needs to have a huge number of accounts with relatively small amounts of coin.
