Notes

a Note A: Warrington won 24-25 via the golden point rule.

gollark: And poor package management.
gollark: Also not-very-expressiveness.
gollark: Unsafety, that's basically it.
gollark: But it's okay, and at least it's not C or something!
gollark: It's unfortunate that we got THIS as the way to develop basically everything for the interweb™.
