Travel guides for historic code like ELIZA make legacy source finally readable.

Strengths
  • "Travel guide" metaphor transforms dry code analysis into engaging narrative tours.
  • Rigorous provenance tracking distinguishes original source from reconstructions clearly and accurately.
  • "Districts" and "Don't Miss" sections highlight specific architectural decisions effectively.
Weaknesses
  • Only three guides available so far, library feels quite thin today.
  • Passive reading experience lacks integrated interactive emulation or runnable code snippets.
