I have seen this photo of Margaret Hamilton so many times. Always with the caption that this is a printout of all the source code for the Apollo board computer. AFAIK it had about 72KB RAM. I do have a hard time to believe that the printed source code on so many pages can fit into 72KB of RAM.

Elixir 1.19 lands some new type checking, this time with protocols! If you implement a pattern-match inside of a protocol implementation that isn't possible, the compiler will now warn! It was also warn if you implement for an unknown (eg, misspelled) module. #ElixirLang
