Executable Archaeology of Early Programming Theories: Reanimating the Heuristic Compiler and KBEmacs

#ai history#software archaeology#programming theory

This paper describes the reanimation of two historical programming systems, the 1961 Heuristic Compiler and 1984 KBEmacs, to analyze their contrasting yet overlapping theories of programming. The authors used modern AI tools to execute and study these early programs, revealing insights into how historical computational systems modeled human programming processes.
