Battle of Vescera
The Battle of Vescera (modern Biskra in Algeria) was fought in 682 or 683 between the Berbers of King Caecilius and their Byzantine allies from the Exarchate of Carthage against an Umayyad Arab army under Uqba ibn Nafi (the founder of Kairouan).[2] Uqba ibn Nafi had led his men in an expedition across north Africa, eventually reaching the Atlantic Ocean and marching as far south as the Draa and Sous rivers. On his return, he was ambushed by the Berber-Byzantine coalition at Tehouda (Thabudeos) south Vescera, defeated, and killed. As a result of this crushing defeat, the Arabs were expelled from the area of modern Tunisia for a decade.[1]

gollark: Codegen, I mean.
gollark: To make it easier, just assign each variable its own unique location in memory and continuously read/write from those to registers.
gollark: Bad simple codegen isn't though as far as I know.
gollark: Codegen isn't that bad I think, you just break your functions down into simple instruction sequences, assign variables to registers, ??? spilling, and emit the appropriate instructions.
gollark: You don't need to be fault tolerant if your users don't make mistakes.
