> Writing foundational algorithms/data-structures libraries (e.g. language-runtime stdlibs like libc) is usually treated as a sort of sacred ritual in programming—something where it’s “obvious” that it should be done slowly, carefully, and without distraction, with each change audited carefully by many peers before accepting a merge.
