Tadesse Alemu
Tadesse Alemu (Amharic: ታደሠ ዓለሙ) was an Ethiopian singer from Wollega who sang traditional Ethiopian songs, sometimes Christian-based, in an upbeat pop-music style with the modern-day electronic instrumentation that is characteristic of today's Ethiopian popular music. Active since 1997, nothing was known about his origins. However, an interview with Alemu's wife on Voice of Ethiopia radio during fall 2007 confirmed that he had become sick and died that July in Addis Ababa of a short disease, which resulted from an infection that was caused by a stabbing wound from several years previously that had not healed properly, just before he was set to leave the country on a concert tour.

gollark: Technically I think it mostly just compiles giant runtime stuff into its binary, but same sort of thing.
gollark: I think R Ü S T and Go mostly manage it.
gollark: Also many modern programming languages since people realized that having to have exactly the right dependencies on the target system is quite annoying.
gollark: That is very ħ of them.
