Maybe now, someone will write a computer language that can do a “Hello, World” in less that 100 bytes.

Oh yeah, you could do that 40 years ago...

There are some languages today where you can’t do that in 20 megabytes.

Anyway, with no RAM and all centralized AI, maybe we will go back to dumb (or at least dumber) terminals.

You will have no computing power, and you will be happy!

Well, the fact is, I’ve still got some of those on a shelf in what used to be the spare room.

Which ones?

I tried the Kraft Heinz language, but could only manage "Jello World".
