UNIX V4, la primera versión del sistema operativo UNIX cuyo núcleo fue escrito en el entonces novedoso lenguaje C, ha sido recuperado con éxito desde una cinta de nueve pistas de la década de 1970, encontrada recientemente en la Universidad de Utah cuando el personal, durante la limpieza de un almacén, halló una cinta que contenía la versión de UNIX v4 de Bell Labs circa 1973; su contenido fue extraído por el curador de software del Computer History Museum, Al Kossow.

@ephemeris In my opinion, one approach that mitigates this problem quite effectively is Go's design: by having no classes or inheritance, it favors composition (via struct embedding) and implicit interfaces. If you just want the 'banana' (a specific behavior), you define a small interface with only the methods you need, and any type that implements them works—no need to pull in the whole hierarchy or unnecessary hidden state.

"The problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle."
