gollark: NLTK doesn't actually seem to add much, unless it can treeize things.
gollark: I think I could technically get the desired behaviour if I move `make esolang` to negations, but æ.
gollark: I got it some years back when it was extremely cheap.
gollark: Idea: Esolangs Civilization V tournament?
gollark: I like how you're helping to create the instruments of your own demise.
