Technical
  • Ronnie "Angel" Stoots – cover design
gollark: You must have short arguments.
gollark: Technically, Python (in CPython) probably can via `ctypes`.
gollark: Being wildly unsafe all the time is probably of some value in, say, embedded systems, but mostly it is better to have safe code which is not going to do memory-unsafe things.
gollark: I'm not saying "change it", just that it is not perfect.
gollark: At least for high-level/application programming use.
