Some interesting insights on early Emacs in these annotated emails from Guy L Steele: https://gist.github.com/lispm/8c6783be2f5a3d41b7592ba3b2c453ea The name was picked in 1976, and a number of concepts that still exist today were created! It mentions the kill ring, yanking, and even the same keybindings for them!

The design/ambition of the semantic web didn't really gain traction, but content is way more annotated these days. Webdevs are incentivised to use open graph tags so summaries show up on search engines and social media. This in turn helps crawlers!

Learnt today that Checker (for Java) provides pluggable type systems. They've also annotated the whole JDK! Impressive.
