Curtis "Ovid" Poe is actually less likely to be found in the nostalgic corner. But a few days ago he published an interesting article about how the craft of programming has changed from the mid-80s to today.

In his article he compares an implementation in BASIC on a ColorComputer 2 with a current version written in PERL. (Which in itself is almost a retro joke ...)

The result is rather less surprising, but nevertheless, the article and the topic are as interesting as relevant.

Reading material for a train ride home.
