gollark: It runs slowly, is highly subjective, generally has people who have no idea what programming actually is running half of it, and, more importantly, *can only punish you after the fact*.
gollark: * mistakes
gollark: It's an AWFUL tool for dealing with programming mistkaes.
gollark: Well, for a perfect mistake-removing thing yes, but we have things which just *sort of* do that by enforcing some rules, like static typing.
gollark: We've seen *already* exploits in many, many complex things designed by competent programmers. The solution is not "program better and don't make mistakes", you need tools which detect mistakes and/or prevent them.
