gollark: Do you actually *need* or even want full type inference?
gollark: So you can make self-extracting zips and other such madness.
gollark: Shellscripts are, somewhat relatedly, very weird and run line-by-line, so you can just stick some binary data at the bottom and as long as you exit before the interpreter hits it it somehow works.
gollark: Parseable without executing it, though, is different.
