Fund.io is a B2B crowdfunding and customer engagement platform that gets startups funded by their early customers.
How does it work?
Being an early stage company is challenging. Not only do they need to build the product, they also need to find customers and raise funds until they are cashflow positive. Fund.io combines these two activities into one.
It exposes fundable projects to their potential customers who will contribute to the projects they are interested in. In return, they get rewarded with such privileges as the ability to influence its development, discounted pricing for the released product, etc. With multiple backers, every backers' contribution is much less of a gamble and most importantly, together they make these projects a reality.

As a part of the nReduce program, the Fund.io team is collecting some startup metrics this week. We're hoping to get a better understanding of B2B startups and their funding needs. We've created a form that we're circulating amongst other nReduce participants; and now we want to collect more data by asking HN visitors to fill it out. It should only take a minute or two.
The form is available at https://secure.jotform.ca/fundio/startups
Obviously, any systems language must have predictable memory layout for at least a subset of its types, including atomic (as in primitive) and composite types -- but probably it's not quite necessary (nor possible) for function types.
What are other language features that are similarly crucial? I'd argue even arrays are kinda optional, since they can be encoded as `Array = exists (n: Size, a: Type); (repeat a > take n > reduce ((x, y) -> (x, y)))`
