   @LordCaramac I have started going down the rabbit hole of algorithmic composition and it turns out the #supercollider mini-language is modeled on #smalltalk (which I knew nothing about!)

   Commercialization of technology in the last decades by-and-large meant dumpification - creating the widest possible addressable market (see idiot smartphone devices).

   As that approach saturates it is plausible that people will start revisiting useful patterns that have been steamrolled into oblivion

     It's a shame almost nobody uses #LISP or #SMALLTALK anymore,
