There once was a language that compiled in milliseconds - you pressed a single button and your changes were instantly in front of you. What's more a clever separation of data and code meant that this instant reload would show your newly compiled app with your data still in place, and you looking at the same screen as before, exactly where you had left it, except powered by your new code.

This separation between data and code also enabled trivial scaling for huge system, as well as the opposite - hundreds of apps, each belonging to a different customer could share the same system - decades before docker or k8 was born.

This language was written when Objects were the only thing people talked about. In a counter-cultural move, the language's author wrote the entire standard library as only functions. The language could be easily learned - just look at the list of functions for the one that does what you want.

It's cross platform - the user interfaces you build work on all platforms with a single codebase.

Its combination of scaling, quick development iterations, and ease of use powered the rise of fourth largest tech company in the world today. In fact, just a single app written in this language has more than a billion people using it every day.

Darkly, however, the name of this language may not be spoken here. Even by praising it obliquely, I risk censure, and my perceived value of my work being cut by eighty percent in penalty.

I will not name it.
