Porolithon
Porolithon is a genus of red algae comprising 24 species.[1] The Porolithon are the primary reef building algae. When coral reefs reach sea level, the corals break under the high energy impact of the waves, while the coralline red algae, primarily Porolithon, continuing building and cementing the reef structure.[2]

gollark: Are syscall numbers scarce somehow?
gollark: I don't see the value in packing multiple different things into one syscall because the arguments happen to be the same when the kernel will have to check and dispatch to different things *anyway*, and user code also has to use a specific known form anyway.
gollark: Realer programmers make everything based on CHANNELS.- Rob Pike
gollark: yes.
gollark: Same raw arguments maybe, different *behavior*.
