Hi @hzulla,
that's #Wirth's law: "#Software becomes slower faster than #Hardware faster." https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/Articles/LeanSoftware.pdf

So, law of nature, inevitable :-)

Seriously that's IMO a consequence of growth (money as debt). Corporations are expected to spend money and make surplus. People want promotions and bonuses. So stuff gets added. Removal is rare and dangerous and makes few friends. Just a bunch of #permacomputing misfits. You won't run a business for them. I delivered a 5-min talk at #36c3 https://marcus.rohrmoser.name/talks/#:~:text=sustain

@CGM I never heard of #SASL! I have always been a huge #Wirth fan. Did tons of real-life work in #Pascal, moved through #Modula2 up to, finally, #Oberon2. Had such fond memories of it that I tried to use it last year for #AdventOfCode and learned that it was not nearly as good as I remembered. Have you tried #Racket (a kind of #Scheme)? It’s not for me but it’s interesting. Used it in a job interview once. Your description of how flow control is defined in #TCL really reminds me of Racket. I’m learning #RustLang and having the kind of #Macros you get in #Lisp and Scheme is another reason Rust is so enjoyable.

Okay I usually post C64 or Amiga demos BUT ... I just saw this TURBO PASCAL (!) MS-DOS (!) DEMO that actually has a Niklaus Wirth tribute ... And it's great!

So let's roll it again! 😎
