I’m talking about programs that can’t be improved no matter what. They do exactly what they’re supposed to and will never be changed.

It’ll probably have to be something small, like cd or pwd, but does such a program exist?

    Not sure about LaTeX, but TeX is widely considered to be almost “perfect” code.

      TeX will be perfect after Knuth dies and the version number is incremented to π.
