So, it seems like the main speedups were from removing a ton of kernel modules, replacing the init system with the target application, and then some optimization of the target application. That's pretty neat! But let's go further

Thank you for clarifying my point, and attaching precise terminology to it! Come to think of it, that's probably why people mistakenly think that Lisps are so hard. The syntax is scary, and easy to bikeshed - even though most of their

Or learning the underlying programming paradigm. Even if Haskell used a Python-like syntax, I bet people would still find it 90% as hard to learn as they do now, due to the killer combination of lazy evaluation and purely-functional design.
