You're going to borrow-checker hell now

It does bring up the interesting conundrum: is there one "base" universe? Then how did that start? Makes no sense. Is it turtles all the way down? That also doesn't make any sense. And yet those are the only 2 possibilities (assuming a few intuitive things about logic and reality, which is a whole 'nother thing...).

OOP methods?

IPv6 might work

I'm gonna go look at cat pictures now

Yeah, I don't want to hear about the murderous CEO!

It bugs me that people will call anything with a positive second derivative "exponentially increasing". I can do one better: it increases busy-beaver-y! Is that fast enough for people??

Then projects would just not update to the new standard, pretty easy solution. Is webp even changing anymore?

And how would Google start collecting license fees? They already give away this IP, so they can't just undo that.

What are they gonna do, add proprietary extensions? Nobody will support those. It's open, and it only works by being open. It's actually in Google's interests for it to be open, widespread, and an effective format because it saves them bandwidth and improves UX on their actual proprietary stuff like YouTube.

Somehow that pulls in the Riemann Hypothesis as dependency
