npub1upkp7fd7rc3lrjg23r8gy0wc723vze7mxlx5984ut6zurjzpf5xss4tcwy (npub1upk…tcwy) hey, I thought of one that might be (b) but might be different: it was designed to work under resource constraints that made sense historically but that no longer apply (and may be forgotten).
Examples:
1. Horrible sendmail.cf syntax was designed to be parsred very quickly on slow 1970's hardware with not-fully-developed-yet 1970's parsing technology.
2. C90 standard requires that externally-visible identifiers (e.g. library functions like printf and malloc) must have nanes that are all unique in the first 6 characters, for compatibility with then-existing linkers that ran in highly memory-constrained environments.
