That reminds me of seeing a video featuring a bloke from the millennial generation (perhaps a little younger) who today does lots of mathy stuff in Lisp, but when he was a kid/teenager computers came in two varieties: "old computers" (e.g. the Apple II) which could be programmed, and "real computers" (modern (late 90s) PCs) which could not. Kind of a sad reflection on how we went from booting to BASIC and encouraging programming by the end user, to booting into Windows (or worse, a smartphone OS) and almost suppressing programming. |
