gollark: Well, if you made dales compile to C, you could make the compiler bit in any language you wanted and the C would run "anywhere".
gollark: Rust has `mem::forget` and such.
gollark: I don't agree with "impossible", since you can probably just patch your program's code in memory to fix problems with C++.
gollark: No.
