There are a number of ways to avoid the long-term mess just described. One is to make the target environments aware of source code. For example by running a Basic / Forth / JavaScript / whatever interpreter on them - then we can work on the target environment as with a regular development platform: the source stays on the target, and whenever we come back to it, we can view that code and edit it, knowing that it is exactly was has been running on the node before.
