gollark: Meanwhile in C you have "error codes" and actually have to pass in output things by reference for stupid reasons and basically have Go-but-worse error handling.
gollark: It's waaaay nicer in Rust because they have the `?` operator.
gollark: Yes, lol no generics lol `if err != nil {return err}`
gollark: `a.out` is only 17KB!
gollark: The great thing about C is that I can be sure my excellent program will run with minimal runtime resources.
