This comment reminds me of the first time I saw genetic code in github and realized that the analogy of computer code to genetic code is almost not an analogy because on some level they're the same thing. I find it interesting but uncomfortable.
Shouldn't we have an assembler, compiler, and linker by now? What's taking so long?
It's like trying to understand Linux from just looking at the /bin directory. Simply having the executables tells us very little about the system as a whole.
