"The Lindy effect says that what’s been around the longest is likely to
remain around the longest. It applies to creative artifacts, not living
things. A puppy is likely to live longer than an elderly dog, but a book
that has been in press for a century is likely to be in press for
another century."
"“We don’t know what language engineers will be coding in in the year
2100. However, we do know that it will be called FORTRAN.” — C.A.R. Hoare"
