   Hey, this is pretty cool. Did you guys consider writing a LLVM backend for your ISA? I'd love to help.

    > the ultra rich gained 2 trillion in wealth I'm a bit suspicious of these stats. People seem to pick a period that starts at the bottom of the stock market.

    A classic, but these days if you want to reproduce those bugs you need to build your code with -fno-stack-protector, enable executable stack, disable ASLR in the kernel, etc.
