You are absolutely right. Many languages, libraries and tools are crucial for the software industry and the whole world.

And yet in 2022 we still have to beg employers and donors to keep those projects running.

If one PL doesn’t do the job, another will.

If we don’t get fusion, we die. That’s what the Princeton IAS is for.
