I'm always amazed though the extent to which that isn't followed through on. Consider the code for logging in and storing user credentials. The level of collaboration on this is at the level of a list of best practices. Why are we still letting anyone (re)write this code?

Okay, how do you use /bin/login over HTTP?

Situations change. So do languages. I hope you can find an Algol compiler, but not Algol-68---that's too new for this code.
