One Python Script To Rule Them All

One Python Script To Rule Them All

By 2050, Python has achieved total world domination and become so ancient that future devs can't even parse basic syntax anymore. They're staring at a for-loop like it's written in Elvish runes.

The joke here is that Python—currently beloved for being "readable" and "beginner-friendly"—will eventually become the legacy code nightmare that COBOL is today. Your great-grandkids will be squinting at f-strings and list comprehensions wondering what ancient sorcery their ancestors were practicing.

Also, nice touch with the One Ring inscription being actual Python code. Because just like Sauron's ring, that one Python script from 2024 will still be running in production in 2050, nobody daring to touch it because "it just works" and the original dev retired 20 years ago.
