Seventh of nine 9-minute writing prompts

Prompt: Write a paragraph from an archeologist's report of an older aspect of programming.

Notably absent from the snippets recovered at the dig site were parenthesis around the contents of print statements. The excavation and recording work undertaken during June 2028 recovered full files including changelogs, meaning that it is highly unlikely that the parenthesis could have been moved, damaged, or lost during the archeological activity or while the projects lay dormant. This indicates that the parenthesis used with print() in Python 3 were a later invention.
