Etymology
The species is named in honor of Dr. Thomas K. Todsen.[1]
gollark: Yes, it's popular.
gollark: Node's method of async with tons of callbacks was awful. Promises are okay, but async requiring sprinkling of magic syntax bits everywhere is beelike.
gollark: Just because JS happened to be picked for clients. though. And now with WASM tons of stuff can do that.
gollark: And it just has such weird inconsistency. Also bad async handling.
gollark: Also the ecosystem gets deprecated every month or so.
