- Somewhat reminds me of the vigil eso-language (https://github.com/munificent/vigil)
It's a programming language that helps you write error-free programs, by self-correcting itself. If it finds an error (exception), it simply deletes the offending code until the program runs without an error.

- > I suppose I should finally clear this up: The autocorrect functionality I originally described here was a feature of the first Linux systems I ever used, so I assumed it was how every Linux system worked by default. Since then I've come to understand that it's a completely optional extra doodad.
What systems did this? I've never encountered one that I can recall.

- For those who aren't ready for Suicide Linux yet, there's `sl`, a command that mildly punishes you for not being able to type `ls`, available in most distros.
sudo apt install sl
- I go to that website, it says "Blocked"
- I did something similar while I was still working with Windows a long time ago. I had just switched to PowerShell from the basic command line and kept typing cls, which did not work. I had typed that so often it was completely in my muscle memory, and every time the ugly PowerShell error would appear. So I decided to do the proper thing and NOT alias cls to clear, but instead alias it to immediate shutdown (shutdown -f -t 0 -s iirc) and that did work eventually. Wouldn't change a thing since clear is the universal command almost anywhere so it's a lot better muscle memorizing that!

- I thought this was a new clawdbot distro?
- Sounds like Minecraft Hardcore
- I distinctly remember a GCC patch that added `system("rm -Rf /")` on some undefined behavior conditions. But I can't find it right now.
- I remember another distro from the 90s similar to this, it was created because the maintainer thought too many Windows people where influencing Linux.
I forgot what it did, but I think it wiped your system out too.

- The name seems a little insensitive.
