Speaking of language, sometimes I remember how incredibly weird it is that a software feature designed to help you achieve something is canonically called a "wizard".

Oh I need help configuring this, lemme light the beacon and call for the aid of Digital Gandalf

Also implies that the default state of software is, I dunno, an orc or a barbarian or something. Something that you need a wizard to help you with, certainly.

Now thinking about creating a movement to promote "hobbit software". Pretty chill, keeps to itself, tends to its databases, hangs out with other hobbit software at the pub, broadly unbothered by the scheming of the wizards and the orcs, oblivious to the rise and fall of software empires around them.

Oh, the Electron empire is going to war with the Reacts? Sounds ghastly, sorry to hear that. Me and the lads are off to the pub to run some cronjobs, wanna come along?

@danderson Vim, Lynx, Perl 4, Forth, DOS 5, 16 bits and 640K bytes of RAM are all anyone needs.
