Second Division

This was the last season in which the second tier was contested in an East-and-West format. Toshiba won a second championship, but this time their promotion was automatic. Fallen giant Hitachi, still adjusting to the change in town, joined them. Regional outfits Fujieda Municipal and NTT Kansai went back to their regional leagues.

gollark: I'm not entirely sure what the aim is - maybe they originally wanted to go for highly concurrent systems or something, but nowadays it seems to mostly be used in trendy cloudy things, servers, command line utilities, that sort of thing.

gollark: I think my use cases are nice usecases, and I think it has flaws even in the domains it seems to be targeted at.

gollark: I think it should at least not, essentially, deliberately cripple itself at some classes of thing.

gollark: I'm not sure exactly what they're targeting - maybe trendy cloud™-type tools, simple webservers, etc - but even *in* that domain it just seems bad to me.

gollark: If they did in fact mean it as a DSL for deploying bees against Google Cloud, they should say so.
