It’s also awkward, an exercise of the blindfolded people describing the pachyderm. Some of this is likely a function of professional programming: if, for the totality of your career, the boss has supplied you with the reason why you do the things that you do, it isn’t natural to start a new initiative by asking “why”. And that’s ok.

An assertion documents the expected state of specific program variables at the point where the assertion is written, in a testable way so that we can find program bugs — logic errors that have led to corrupted program state. Assertions are only about finding bugs, not doing program work.

At the lowest level, all computers are programmed with strings of ones and zeroes. When you program in machine language, you are controlling the computer at its brainstem, the root of its existence. Our first goal is to write an x86-64 program that does nothing, but that we can build. It’s the tongue of Eden.

In case you’re wondering, that paper was " Why functional programming matters " (revisited again on the blog 2 years later). Taking a scroll through the HotOS’19 program, you’ll find plenty more really interesting papers that it pains me I didn’t have the time to cover (yet?). I’m not dead yet!
