Notes
  1. "Major" constitutes the categories listed above: Program, Acting, Directing, and Writing. Does not include the technical categories.
gollark: #include <stdio.h>printf("NO! STOP! YOU'LL RUIN THE STUPIDITY!");
gollark: !interpret WHY
gollark: Wait, someone used it in a serious context? Oh no.
gollark: And it's really completely arbitrary to say "Machine code has performance. Lambda calculus doesn't". Machine code on its own doesn't. Machine code as implemented by whatever processor does.
gollark: No, C is a language specified on its own which doesn't have to be compiled to machine code.
