Are you sure? They might have learned something then. Or did they get stuck with a turtle-logic compiler instead?

There’s an episode in DS9 where OBrien mentions an issue caused by a pointer fault in the holosuite.
To me this is canon.

You’re probably not using enough global variables

Honestly I’ve always imagined them using a more natural interface just like when they speak to the computer. So when they run commands it’s essentially ai driven, and so is what they see on their screens. Why ever touch a piece of code when an ai can manage it for you and offers a natural interface with flexibility. It would simply be inefficient to do it any other way.
- NightAuthor ( @NightAuthor@beehaw.org ) English2•11 months ago
Makes sense, if you have an infallible ai. Bc it’s probably outputting machine code and that wouldn’t be so fun to debug.

@ZenkorSoraz To paraphrase a developer from the ‘80s: “I don’t know what the language of the future will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran.”
