Nice puzzle. One nit to pick: Unix is an OS, not a language. This clue just seems off unless there is an especially clever bit of wordplay that I’m not seeing.

22:07. Oh yeah, you can totally tell I’m an expert at crosswords and trivia and crap. The three letters I couldn’t solve without outside help were the intersection of 39A with 39D, and those of 29D with 37A and 40A. Yuck. Holy crap.
Speaking of yuck and holy crap, that theme! I can’t say I saw that coming, even from the title! I couldn’t help but laugh when I finally figured it out from the bottom two theme entries, though. You did a 43D job with it. 🙂
