Rapture is a language inspired by the recent prediction that the world will end on May 21st, 2011, 6 p.m. on the dot (The Bible Guarantees It!) As such, all scheduling in the language is done by making predictions that certain events will run at certain real time dates in the future. When said date inevitably passes without it executing, the program will make an elaborate theological excuse for it not have happening. (e.g. prime_sieve() failed to start because Jesus heard our sincere prayers and spared our CPU from its great burden.)
