Let us return to an on-topic topic, if only as an aside:  

If my intent is to write code that will be not only read and performed,
but also revered, 400 years hence, what language and style should I 
take a shot at?  

How is it that single authors produce the most praised literary works,
but egoless, pair, and team-oriented approaches are favored for software
works?
