This is a delight to read. I've been doing a survey of languages over the last several days, and Odin is one of the more interesting ones... but looking at the OS and FS related parts of the standard library made me back away at high velocity. They seemed like litanies of generated code that simply describe every quirk of every platform: not an abstraction at all. And while I do want those levels to be _available_, I also don't want to be dragged down there in every program.

Delighted to see more work will be focused there in the future.
