gollark: Oh, and the strings are terrible.
gollark: Also, channels are not a particularly good primitive for synchronization.

gollark: - lacking in generics - you have to use `interface{}`- public/private visibility is controlled by *capitalization* of all things- weird bodgey specialcasing instead of good generalizable solutions- you literally cannot express a `max` function which returns the largest of two of any type of number in a well-typed way
