it's a "fundamental transformation of the OS itself", you see


Probably true. The new win64 API will have just one entry point:

  LPSTR do_thing(LPSTR prompt);
E.g.:

  if (do_thing("get a mutex or whatever it's called") == do_thing("What's the happy return code for getting a mutex?") { ... }


Someone someday may actually ship code like this into production. Horrifying to think about. For some reason this reminds me of trying to grow plants with Brawndo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAqIJZeeXEc
