I keep harping on about this at work - a sqlite file carries its schema with it so you can inspect it. With foreign keys, notnull, check and other constraints you can easily make out what the data is about. There is a driver in every langua

I'd personally add bittorrent, distributed ledger, just-in-time compiling, garbage-collection, homoiconicity, proper tail calls, db transactions, REPL, FFI.

This happened in Australia with Toyota, Ford, Holden (GM), and I think before all that, Nissan and Mitsubishi. Also in New Zealand with Mazda/Ford, (edit: Toyota in Thames) at least in my lifetime. Subsidies have never worked. It seems
