> Although terminal emulation has been largely supplanted by the Web for online access, Kermit software continues to play a role in other applications such as remote sensing and data collection, management and troubleshooting of networking and telecommunications equipment, back office work, cargo and inventory management, medical insurance claim submission, electronic funds transfer, and online filing of income tax returns. Kermit software is embedded in network routers and switches, in cell-phone towers, in medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment, even in cardiac pacemakers, not to mention the cash registers of quite a few big-name "big box" retailers. In 2002 Kermit flew on the International Space Station, and Kermit software is the communication method used by EM APEX ocean floats (left) supplying realtime data to hurricane researchers and trackers to this day (the hurricane project entered a new expanded phase in 2010 based on a new version of Embedded Kermit).

It contains its own Perl-like scripting language that predates Perl (https://www.kermitproject.org/ckscripts.html#tut), which supports „Prolog-like declarative logic programming“ (https://www.kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/scripts/socrates), some OOP (https://www.kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/scripts/oop) and S-expressions (https://www.kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/scripts/shortest_pa...).
There is a text-to-HTML converter (https://www.kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/scripts/html). Someone should build a static site generator with that, running on a calculator or embedded system on some buoy.
