gollark: JS is *better*?!

gollark: What should people use instead of Python? (Do not suggest C, or you will be wrong.)

gollark: slow + ratio + Send + Sync + Clone + Copy + 'static

gollark: Onto more important things: functional programming - do it, or do it continuously all the time?

gollark: This entire argument is ridiculous. Just store ASTs on disk and have your editor convert to your preferred syntax on-demand.
