So, we have stainless, which means Linux code that never rusted. Now we need someone to make phosphorus so that we can turn rusty code into old iron. Then GPL fans can run Rust boxes, Stainless machines, or future proofed iron work horses.

All software can come on three editions. Stainless drivers that were never rusty, oxidized drivers that used Rust on existing code, and Iron editions which is where someone converted the Rust back to C using the new phosphoric tool...

Diversity can be our strength.

Making Iron C/c++ code can be called acid washing if it was rusted.
