Found a program I wrote in 1981 and decided to bring it back to life

• Empire-for-PDP-10

  2 41 0.0 Fortran

  Empire for the PDP-10 in the FORTRAN-10 programming language

  

The oldest program source I still have is Empire written in Fortran-10 for the DecSystem 10, circa 1978 or so.

I thought backing it up using github was a good idea.

A modern version that will run on Windows can be obtained from:

• Historic-code-PC-Pascal-and-ASM-

  4 2 10.0 Pascal

  It's amazing what you find when you retrieve a box of floppy disks from the attic!

Amen to that!

Here's some Turbo Pascal and asm stuff of mine I rediscovered a while back.

I still use TP occasionally on a range of Z80 boards running CP/M:

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

• Pico-setup

  1 1 3.2 Shell

  The Raspberry Pi Pico toolchain setup script modified for PCs running Ubuntu, Debian or Mint etc.

As a mostly (ancient!) hobbyist programmer - so take my views as a bit grumpy - we seem to have developed such complex toolchains and frameworks, that the industry suffers from 'goldfish bowl' syndrome in that the IDEs and tools have grown in complexity and size to fit the complexity we've created (that's a bit recursive!).

I know it's a crude comparison, but consider the likes of installing Turbo Pascal and a few libraries ('units') from back in the day with what I had to go through to setup the vscode-based toolchain on Linux for the Raspberry Pi Pico, which required me to fudge a script: https://github.com/linker3000/Pico-setup/blob/main/pico_setu..., and I almost gave up trying to follow various instructions to get an IDE running under WSL due to various quirks and changes which made the online instructions out of date or missing key tweaks.

I even approach platformio with a degree of trepidation for fear that a bucket-load of stuff will need to be updated before the odd bit of code I've hacked together will compile this time round.

Perhaps if you've grown up during the mainstream days of Eclipse, Platformio etc., their appearance and behaviour are just second nature and I'm just looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses! Oh well, back to configure and make - I can handle that!

The set of things you had to worry about is just .. different. My ancient programmer credentials from 1996: https://github.com/pjc50/ancient-3d-for-turboc
