[Scene: {5 years ago} /p/programming on Poppit, a popular social aggregator, is discussing a post on H/Oxide a new language that's been gaining traction in certain maker circles]
EagerBeaver68+1: So why are we talking about this thing again? It's just a mashup of parts. I mean look at it, the ownership model comes from linear type theory. It's traits are just Haskall but worse and it's decided that Scheme of all places is where we should be stealing the idea of macros? I mean let me guess, it doesn't even do garbage collection does it?
YourMommaWasRight: Uh... should we tell him?
EagerBeaver68+1: Tell me what?
YourMommaWasRight: I wrote ls in it
MLPFan411: Not interested at all, it's just another language thrown together from available parts, trying to get in on the systems programming resurgance. There's nothing novel here at all
[Scene: {current day} ]
Bobby IV: Hey yo, hit me up on Wallsap later
Phil: Sure thing, send me that pull when you're done. That new ECS is going to make this the best bubble popping roguelike since the original Bubble Bobble, I can't believe how easy it is to build in H/Oxide
Bobby IV: Yeah, I don't know how the old DullSheens used to do it, memory management in Sea++ is a pain, why should I have to tell the compiler when I'm done with something? Can't it tell I'm never going to use it again?
Phil: I know right? I mean look how much we're getting done these days and all the parts for H/Oxide were just sitting there, just took a bit of outside the bubble thinking to put it all together. We've got it made now... I created three versions of ls just this week!
Bobby IV: We should go back and rewrite all of that old stuff, I mean it was OK back in the olden days like when my Dad was building Mito to have to carefully manage memory, but we've moved on since then
Phil: Move fast and break stuff right?
Bobby IV: Alright man, I've gotta run. I'll catch you later. I'm headed over to Sammie's house. She and her mom were working on a PR for the Linux maintainers that replaced /dev/null with a H/Oxide version, completely memory safe and had like a 400x speedup over the legacy version
Phil: Wait, Sammie? As in Sammie "My Great Grandmother Once Farted So Bad it Ended Life as We Know It?" Bubbleson? You know her?
Bobby IV: Yeah, she and my grandfather used to work together
Phil: For real? That's super cool man, is there anything H/Oxide can't do?
