I wish we had another alternate timeline.

"Our submission is in TALx86, a strongly typed functional language that encourages an explicit continuation-passing style and supports mutually recursive modules. We were encouraged to use this language when we learned that the competition would allow us to run our program on an interpreter implemented in hardware. We are grateful to the Intel Corporation for developing this interpreter."
