You forgot paper tape. (Most people who used it probably wish they
could forget it too!)
Anyway, all of the tools you mentioned are for wimps - real
programmers load code directly into memory using the toggle
switches on the front of the computer.
Been there, done that! Both of them (a PDP 1 "with a few bad bits",
booted from paper tape once you set the sense switches). Coded on it,
too...
Maybe we should form an Old Guy club or something...;-)
