This comment seems to be generating downvotes, but I find the questions fascinating. It is a stretch to say the fossil record rules out any evolutionary changes to anacondas. However, if anacondas represent another form of so-called "l

Is the Gnat compiler not sufficiently free and open source? It does not fulfill the comment calling for "toolchain" however. Edit: Thanks for that video. It is an interesting synthesis ad great context.
