Knitting is programming. Read a knitting pattern and it's low level programming - knitters do not get enough credit.

If you happen to be there and like this sort of thing, the lace museum in Calais is definitely worth a visit:

Cité de la Dentelle et de la Mode https://www.cite-dentelle.fr/en/

It's been about fifteen years since I visited, but they had a big section on the evolution of the techniques. It started from hand lace making, then progressed through periods of different looms. From memory, I'm pretty sure they had a punch-card loom about 200 years old, that was actually operating while I was there.
