Software Generalist

Windows code, Unix code, MSDOS code, BeOS code, Cantor code, PDP code, x86 code, … Every such code has its distinct semantics and pragmatics, converging, evolving and coming to extinction, backed by economic, social and political forces, having its readers and writers. A few years ago I bought and started reading the book “Empires of the Word” by Nicholas Ostler and while thinking today whether I should buy its Folio edition I finally realised that there are also empires of the code intertwined with modern history. As usual, I reserve an ISBN number for this (978-1906717810) yet unwritten book and starting to think about collaborative writing.
