Years ago, I gave a talk about being locked in a vault and having to analyze a bunch of C++ code in a legal case.   I used some Python.

One thing I didn't mention in that talk is that I also looked at a lot of "prior art" which mostly consisted of 1970s assembly code.   That code, in contrast, was readable and understandable. It had flow charts.  It was a small stack of paper when printed.

Anyways, rock on Voyager! 

 Got recordings or notes from the talk?  It sounds **extremely** interesting!
