"Wow! ATS is so cool! I can rewrite some of my C stuff in this"
"...what have I made in C? blsm... uh... microcontroller stuff..."
"...that's about it"
unless I want to start reinventing wheels and rewriting existing software in the Blazing Fast Memory Safe ATS Way:tm: I just don't know what to make 😭

ok, there's a few things that I realize I want to make with ATS:
- rewriting blsm to be epic fast
- an image viewer that uses libvips, because vipsdisp is a little barebones & gtk4 😦
- ideally using a cross platform UI library...
- some ffmpeg stuff that is annoying to do in a shell script (you can see some of the evil shell stuff I've done for ffmpeg scripting here)
direct C interop while being functional/proof based/etc. is so cool
I could probably make some ffmpeg wrapper stuff
