    I am obsolete

    Code 'transplant' could revolutionise programming (Wired UK)

    Code has been automatically "transplanted" from one piece of software to another for the first time, with researchers claiming the breakthrough could radically change how computer programs are created.

    The process, demonstrated by researchers at University College London, has been likened to organ transplantation in humans. Known as MuScalpel, it works by isolating the code of a useful feature in a 'donor' program and transplanting this "organ" to the right "vein" in software lacking the feature.


    Bugger, no one is going to hire me now.

    Couple that to a 3D printer and the ruling class will not need the plebs soon.

    Maybe we will all be sent to the gas chambers.

          Is this just a beardy researchers version of dependency injection ?
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                Can't wait to see the software running a lessons learned or UX workshop.

                  That would be a human doing it. This was automatic so the human just said "copy this bit of code into this bunch of code" and the CTRL-C CTRL-V was done for him.

                  If I'm developing something and need some functionality, I'll search for a library that does it for me and use that. This appears to be just an extension of the same process, only instead of a library, I point it as some source code.
