Toasters have been around for a long time. So has Javascript. I suppose that I can buy a modern toaster or an antique toaster. Still, they both seem unremarkably like toasters to me. Likewise, I can run an old Javascript program or a new one. It feels like being modern isn't really all that special. I wonder if no matter how old the tradition of writing software becomes, we'll always want to associate it with modernness. Will certain software writing ever become artisanal?

I hear there's a programming language called kobold that i would consider artisanal;) https://nextcloud.projectftm.com/index.php/s/kobold

realistically though, i've heard "bespoke, artisanal software" before, so, probably.
