Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust
Minor nitpick: That already happened, Limbo is what happened when Bell Labs wrote Java.

And go is very very derived from plan 9. It could be considered a sibling of limbo in a lot of ways.

Huh. I managed to hear about Inferno, but not remember the Limbo part.
In that case, Go is Bell Labs' second attempt at Java.

Third, there was also a language I can't remember the name of that happened at the same time as Alef.

That may have been what I was thinking of (or Squeak, for that matter, if my sense of time was off), but I'm not sure!

More like Limbo and Inferno.

Limbo doesn't only run on Inferno; anything with the Dis VM will work.
