@lina@vt.social We also had code-generation tools, called compilers, that took input from a highly formal language with its own task-optimised syntax and semantics, and when these so called compilers generated something that didn't exactly match what was specified in the input, we would consider this an enormous problem. In fact, compiler faults would be so uncommon that it wouldn't even be one of the error causes anyone normally thought of, but sometimes people would joke about it being the cause.

    @ahltorp@mastodon.nu And compilers also had AST parsers that could be used as part of refactoring pipelines!
