If you like Linux distributions/systems with an emphasis on a single language and custom init systems, I'd encourage you to take a peek at GUIX. It has an init system written in scheme called shepherd.

Ladies and gentlemen the man at the helm himself. Feel free to ask him anything.
Saildrones (x-post from ! [email protected])
They can monitor the Antarctic year round and sail straight into hurricanes.
Stole this from another sub (don't know how to cross-post) but it's an interesting application of sailing.
I still scream the aiiiieeeiioooiii song when I need to get someone's attention. Sometimes they think I'm having a stroke.
Sailrite Rope Bags
Behold my knockoff Ronstan rope bag. Going to mount this with some SNADs to the back of the cockpit.
