What's TMSR? Searching for "TMSR V" doesn't give me anything software-sounding.

Software never exists in a vacuum - so yes, TMSR won't be software-sounding precisely because the software part is just a tiny bit of it all. Anyway, V is a versioning system - possibly world's simplest and at the same time most powerful. If you want to dive straight in and play with it, you might find this helpful: ossasepia.com/2018/11/13/v-with-vt...

The reason why it's easier to get into coding via TMSR and V though is mainly because of a. people available and willing to help in real-time via irc b. docs standard + v-patches that are made precisely to help you understand the code line by line and all of it c. lots of active projects whose coordinators are perfectly willing to mentor effective newcomers - provided the newcomers submit to mentoring, true.
