I’m thinking that with the rise of memes, overpopulation by computers will eventually overtake overpopulation by humans. Bots are computer programs that replicate on computers.
What, precisely, are bots?
For starters, what language are they written in? Could I write one?
What bots are depends on what they’re designed to do. You have chat bits, which are automated to find out your issue, thereby saving on paying actual humans.
Spam bots are of the kind which post links to forums. Or DDS bots which log onto websites en masse to cause trouble.
They can be written in pretty much any computer language.

Bots are just automation scripts, they do not replicate.
Yes, you could write your own bot. A bot can be written in may different programming languages, depending on your needs.

That’s a bit general. There are bots that write bots.

Really good tutorial.
Bots are written in javascript from Linux (or perhaps a psuedo-linux inside nodejs), then tested using a bot simulator from Microsoft.
Uses the javascript package manager npm.
> deploy that to Heroku.
Which is cloud environment that runs javascript.

I wrote the code for a bot which created new bots in the old Lotus 123 macro language.
The code copied the contents of the line it was on down one line, then moved down to that line.
There it read the code on that line, and did what it was told, which was to copy the contents of the line it was on down one line, then move down to that line.
This it continued to do until the end of the Universe, which in those days was about 64,000 lines later.
Here is the code:
