Hi!

Don't waste time on this. It is obvious rubbish. I took the time to follow these first sentences and it led to wasted time. I'm tempted to build a robot to filter this shite out.

"When I look around at the legacy of literate programming, systems to do so-called semi- or quasi-literate programming dominate. These are systems that focus on generating beautifully typeset documentation without allowing the author to arbitrarily order code."

Also see Dune Legacy, which includes source code. Includes modern conveniences. More open than the other Dune2 remake projects too.

    clone using git:
        git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/dunelegacy/code dunelegacy-code
No way! The lamers you end up firing (after 30 days' pay) will easily make a living out of it. They could even be PARALLEL lamers, pulling 30 days pay off multiple sucker companies.

Do you speak one language only? Even one additional language would change your perspective here. You won't be able to translate all that properly into one language.

A people's language is a window into their culture and their being. Each language (and even dialect) have their own insightful and delightful quirks.

I could only lamely elaborate here on own experience.
