@omar,
programming language where you provide an 'initial guess' return value every time you define a function

@omar that's exactly what I've been working on! If you know the result of a value after use, you can release it. It's how most reversible programming languages works too.

@omar,
or maybe you provide a fast way to compute an initial guess from input parameters at runtime, and it can use that in parallel with slower/more accurate ways to get the result, like interlacing an image on a slow connection

@omar,
so the program is always working but gets more and more accurate over time

@omar,
or maybe the initial guess is actually the input to some fixpoint-computing procedure that converges on a more accurate value
