Probably worth pointing out that the author is the project lead of Qubes, one of the very few promising projects in the vast wasteland of computer security.

Yeah man the only good things in CS are Postgres and common lisp. Everything else is a waste of time.

Try crash-safe.org or Cambrige's CHERI for hardware; Qflow w/ YoSys for OSS synthesis; Microsoft's VerveOS for OS correctness; Racket for LISP; Google's F1 RDBMS for databases; Ur/Web for web apps; Cornell's JIF/SIF/SWIFT/Fabric for distributed apps; Coqasm for assembler; CompCert and CakeML for compilers/tooling.

That's just a tiny selection from my collection. Lots of exciting things going on for secure and correct tools that are still powerful. Postgres and Common LISP are both weak and boring in comparison despite being good tools. :P
