Can't help but feel there are going to be Unanticipated Consequences for making 'magic' a term in an actual science.

About damn time computer scientists invented magic

It's always been magic, from the moment we convinced lightning to live inside rocks and do math for us. Every line of code: an incantation. Every monitor: a new orb to ponder.

Quantum computers are just deeper magicks than we have had before.

Wish I knew Qiskit better. I bet it is quite an elucidating framework to work with. I mean, how else would you find this out without trying Quantum Mechanics on classical computers?
