gollark: Except that one time I wrote incredibly accursed python.
gollark: I mean, *my* code is utterly memory-safe and yet.
gollark: > >>So they wrote a program that was a) shitty and b) memory-safe? Those are two orthogonal dimensions.Wow, this is extremely.
gollark: It generalizes fine to other tasks, as long as you precompute them utterly and can save them.
gollark: There's a startup experimenting with using on-chip flash to store glxgears frames and just streaming them to the display as needed, to avoid the overhead of having to actually compute it.
