I read that as Futurama and when I clicked through was expecting to see a picture of Fry or Hypnotoad as some time travel concept as inspiration. Even better, when I clicked through I read it the first time and thought “wow cool someone’s last name is Futurama” then I read it again haha.

because you wrote Futurama and referred to it so many times in this reply, when I skimmed the thread I read the word in this post and the one above it as Futurama. it took me like 3 re-reads to realize the original did NOT say Futurama.

Made a short explainer video on how they're using Futamura's ideas of "partial evaluation" to essentially generate an optimizing compiler from just an interpreter.
