I think the realization that it takes thousands of feet of bit-serial crafted rope, is part of the art. Just IMHO.
Something like the "core rope fixed memory" of the 60's, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory Many industrial machines internally still emulate the "infinite paper tape loop" concept from 50+ years ago when CNC was new. Young guys who have never programmed that way may not appreciate how programming with zero cleverness is in itself clever (making it far easier to predict performance etc. even though the performance is going to be low.)
