One thing I wondered about the P language: It seems like in the early days, it was used at Microsoft to generate C code that’s actually used at runtime in the Windows USB stack?

But now it is no longer used to generate production code?

I asked that question here, which I think was the same question as in a talk: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34284557

It seems like if the generated code is used in a kernel, it could also be used in a cloud, which is less resource-constrained
