ComputerCraft is peak computing It may be a janky Minecraft mod, but in some ways it's nicer than lots of modern software stacks. computercraft 18/11/2023 yes

I have been thinking about ComputerCraft slightly recently, because of moving several years of archived code from Pastebin and some private internal repositories to public view (and writing some minor patches to PotatOS), and it increasingly seems like a model of what computers should be like which highlights the shortcomings of everything else.

Computers undoubtedly grow more powerful every year, as fabs wrangle quantum electrodynamics into providing ever better and smaller transistors at great cost and the handful of companies still at the cutting edge refine their architectures slightly, but, as has been noted, this doesn't actually translate into better user experience.
