I could imagine some poor decisions made a few decades ago having really screwed it up.
Yes. Computing was placed in the 000s (Generalities) rather than the 600s (Technology), which puts computing books in with encyclopedias and dictionaries. As computing becomes a way of life rather than a tool, mind you, I wonder if this was so foolish ... (I think the detailed classification works reasonably well, though programming languages are simply listed alphabetically.)
