Notes
gollark: ddg! Xkcd silicate geology
gollark: I think you're doing the thing where your models of all the quirky somewhat unintuitive things programming languages do are so ingrained that you don't realise other people lack them.
gollark: I wonder if people would find Haskell etc. more intuitive if they started on it and were not exposed to Cish languages.
gollark: Bees aren't apioforms.
gollark: Hash it plus a random salt. Release the guesses and salt later.
