gollark: Oh dear, a comment. I need to stop it somehow. Hmm.
gollark: 1. No dedicated syntax2. Any string making up a whole statement on its own is stdouted3. ???
gollark: You can get rid of them, mostly.
gollark: Also, add no syntax for comments.
gollark: The trick is to make a simple language, tack on a DSL for commonly used operations (regex in Perl's case), overcomplicate it, tack more features on generally, go utterly mad, add more DSLs, and follow Cthulu in your madness.
