gollark: Is anything below `ghc` in the stack implementation details to you?
gollark: The machine code for them is excessively complex too, now, but I suppose you mostly write Haskell and whatnot which is then compiled to that.
gollark: They have ridiculously complex manufacturing processes because the transistors are on the scale of a few hundred atoms, it's crazy.
gollark: Also, with your processor comment, you are kind of underselling the complexity involved. It's not separate transistors, they're all just made on large bits of silicon together and wired up. Billions of them per processor.
gollark: In the case of games, which are basically just *information*, though, you can both use it because it can be copied (assuming no DRM meddling).
