They also wanted "without loss of performance" (compared to C, I think, based on the context), which also has tension with the other requirements. I don't think it's possible to make a memory-safe language that has easy C FFI with no overhead and doesn't require you to think about C stuff. The esoterica of C have to be addressed somewhere.

The singular "they" is in fact about as old as the singular "you" (which was also strictly a plural before then).

This is also the origin of the "stake through the heart" trope. The stake was originally meant as a way to hold a vampire in place, just like these instruments.
