What are programming lost arts?
- by pavpanchekha
Have you ever programmed raw machine code (not for class)? Examined a hex dump with just a hex editor (or, heck, without)? Written your own software floating-point library? Division library? Written a non-school-assignment in Lisp or Forth?
What sort of "lost arts" have been forgotten? And what reason (if any) would there be to resurrect them?
