  • My thoughts would be that she’ll not make it through the night in any case. Having another cause of death waiting in the future doesn’t mean the earlier ones aren’t as effective as without. That’s not how death works.

    (And, actually, if she did somehow survive, the son caused her a guaranteed death date later.)

    But of course it’s magic, so all bets are off unless you know exactly what the rules are and how to lawyer it.

(For a long time it was also the record size hello world at something like 64MB, but that’s later and on a compiler.) And it doesn’t actually run on any platform except one: jre. And most binaries you find only run on one version of that one brand of jre.

    Still, not the worst thing for writing web services in in late 90s. Doesn’t matter how slow it starts or how much space it takes. Responding to requests, being familiar to new programmers and living in a sandbox was enough.
