Would love to hear a technical comparison between this and King et al.'s classic paper on Time-Traveling VMs from USENIX ATC 2006: "Debugging operating systems with time-traveling virtual machines" (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/usenix05/tech/general/k..., 505 citations).

Seguing to talks regarding literal time traveling VMs, I'm reminded of Damian Conway's "Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming In Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Spacetimes... Made Easy!" presentation.

Essentially, it involves a series of sci-fi concepts, and then showing the kind of program (in modified perl) that someone might write to take advantage of those capabilities.
