The fun thing is that, until CS slows down, stuff gets better so fast that we get to reimplement the same thing, but 10x better every 5 years or so.

First I wrote single threaded code code with automatic memory management, then single threaded synchronous with manual memory management, then synchronous multi-threaded, then async, and then async lock free.

Now I am writing async lock free, and the compiler is helping me prove it is data-race-free and memory safe.

Each time I rewrite this stuff, someone hands me 6-7 figures. This is awesome.
