       I've always had a soft spot for Gopher. I was fortunate enough to take my
       first steps on the Internet back when Gopher was still around, and while even
       then it seemed clear to me that the Web would "win" and render Gopher
       obsolete, I witnessed debates with its fans who argued passionately for
       Gopher's benefits.
       
       Gopher never died, of course: not completely. It still runs wild and free on
       the modern Internet. It's even enjoyed a minor resurgence in popularity in
       recent years, as the "smolnet" has taken root and people have taken an
       interest in reinventing the simpler, safer, faster, lighter, and
       more-interpersonal Internet.
       
       I believe that Gemini is our best bet for a future "Gopher-like" system, but I
       think that Gemini, Spartan and Gopher all have their own interesting charms.
