gollark: It's too stringy, unsafe (not in the memory-safety way), lacking useful constructs from any modern language ever (USABLE ARRAYS?!), and... well, that's it really.
gollark: systemd makes them unable to do stuff like have memory be writable and executable at once, gain extra capabilities, see most system folders and /home, and such.
