gollark: There's Bucklescript(-TEA), but I've found it awful to use.
gollark: It's a shame really. I like Elm-the-library and Elm-the-syntax but not Elm-the-language-and-community-and-also-tooling.
gollark: With the same hashing algorithm and same format, or...?
gollark: That's actually one of the best ways to put it if you want people to spend several seconds wondering "what?".
gollark: Also also, "convention over configuration" being stupid. Yes, the choice of four spaces vs two isn't too significant, but being able to choose means you'll have code you can possibly read a bit more easily, and also public/privateness via *capitalization* just (in my opinion) looks ugly and is annoying if you want to change privacy.
