  2. title: Can I be on your podcast?

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

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

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