Final standing
gollark: Python tends to just meddle with the syntax for every little minor change.
gollark: It wouldn't need language changes. Just a community-agreed-upon set of libraries providing those useful utilities.
gollark: In Python.
gollark: Also, dependency management is pure evil.
gollark: Lua does have libraries, but they're not really as convenient as the quadrillion built-in Python ones. Though frankly many of the builtin ones are awful and you need external ones half the time.
