It's fun running into Vista references in contemporary TV shows, which run the gamut from "it's like a good pair of jeans" [1] to "Vista! We're going to die!" [2]. I was too young to form much of an opinio

And then Elixir was born! I swear there's a video of Joe Armstrong et al. presenting part of this on stage and laughing along with it. I tried to find it last week but couldn't figure out which talk it was. A few years ago I think
