+title: Can I be on your podcast?
+date: 2023-11-09
+---
+
+I am working on rousing the [Hare](https://harelang.org) community to get the
+word out about our work. I have drafted the [Hare evangelism][0] guidelines to
+this effect, which summarizes how we want to see our community bringing Hare to
+more people.
+
+[0]: https://harelang.org/evangelism/
+
+We'd like to spread the word in a way which is respectful of the attention of
+others -- we're explicitly eschewing unsolicited prompts for projects to
+consider writing/rewriting in Hare, as well as any paid sponsorships or
+advertising. Blog posts about Hare, videos, participating in (organic) online
+discussions -- much better! And one idea we have is to talk about Hare on
+podcasts which might be interested in the project.
+
+If that describes your podcast, here's my bold request: can I make an
+appearance?
+
+Here are some mini "press kits" to give you a hook and some information that
+might be useful for preparing an interview.
+
+## The Hare programming langauge
+
+> Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and
+> robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a
+> minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools,
+> compilers, networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks. 
+
+Hare has been in development since late 2019 and today has about 100
+contributors.

+
+## The Ares operating system
+
+Ares is an operating system written in Hare which is under development. It
+features a micro-kernel oriented design and runs on x86_64 and aarch64. Its
+design is inspired by the seL4 micro-kernel and Plan 9.

+## Himitsu: a secret storage system
+
+> Himitsu is a secure secret storage system for Unix-like systems. It provides
+> an arbitrary key/value store (where values may be secret) and a query language
+> for manipulating the key store. 
+
+Himitsu is written in Hare.
