NuMega
NuMega Technologies (or NuMega) was a software company founded in 1987 by Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun in Nashua, New Hampshire, USA. The company developed a Kernel mode debugger, now SoftICE, for DOS and the Windows NT family.[1]
In December 1997 the company was acquired by Compuware, when it became NuMega Labs of Compuware.[2] Less than a year after moving to Merrimack, the development lab was effectively shut down on 11 June 2007.[3] In June 2009, Compuware sold the former NuMega products, the intellectual property and the remaining staff to a UK-based firm named Micro Focus.[4]
Mark Russinovich, an IT professional, started his career at NuMega co-writing with Bryce Cogswell the software NTFSDOS, Filemon and RegMon.[1]

gollark: Just substitute <lang> with `haskell` or whatever language.
gollark: Er, no actual <> at the start/end.
gollark: See, if you can't actually figure out what to pass into this to make it do anything, you can't do IO so it's safe!
gollark: Well, a notcombinator.
gollark: ```haskells :: t1 -> (((t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t2 -> (t2 -> (t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t3) -> t4) -> t1 -> (IO a -> a) -> t5) -> t5s x k = k (\x y z -> x y y (z y x)) x unsafePerformIO```A combinator for safely wrapping UnsafePerformIO because how do you even use it.
