gollark: You can do `vector.get(2)` to get an `Option<i32>` or whatever there.

gollark: But if you want to just do `vector[2]` and there's no element 2 panicking is better than uninitialized memory access.

gollark: Yes, as it also is in Rust.

gollark: Well, it has *panics*, but those are for unrecoverable errors (out of bounds indexing, etc).

gollark: Async will just magically magic everything away, in a wave of syntax sugar and performance issues.
