Mmm, interesting. For some reason, I thought "core memory" had something 
to do with superconducting liquid mercury...

Personally, I find it astounding that when I was 5 years old, playing 
with my dad's BASIC-powered C64, people were working on the Miranda 
programming language. And even when I was 10 years old and just starting 
to get massively into programming, Haskell had been invented.

(As I understand it, Haskell is extremely similar to Miranda, but 
non-commercial.)

And yet, it's still not mainstream. I guess that should be a pretty 
clear indicator that it never will be...
