03:47 schestowitz; <p>If I should owe my allegiance to any programming language, it would be Hare. Not only is it a systems programming language that I designed myself, but I am using it to write a kernel. Like Rust, Hare is demonstrably useful for writing kernels with. One might even go so far as to suggest that I consider it superior to C for this purpose, given that I chose to to write Helios in Hare it rather than C, despite

In Wayland's case, the coroner has stated that alcoholism was a factor. Experts classify alcoholism as a form of self harm. While Wayland's death was ruled an accident, it involved self harm, which is analogous to the phenomena described in the case of Molly Russell.</p>
