I saw some coding harness (OMP i think?) labeling sub-agent comms as "IRC" for the agents to use. XMPP is another one I bet AI would just understand what to use it for. I have been absorbing whether tried-and-true old tech like these are going to revive in the AI era, just because it's "locked in" in the training data. AI is going to keep some of these torches burning forever maybe.

I agree with you 100%! With so much open source software and know-how material that has been available for AI to train on, it seems inevitable that such tools will be used that much more often...and then as the AI trains on newer content, it will continue a virtuous cycle of open source software that will keep being used, and further improved...and as you stated "burning forever".
