gollark: Due to a bug you can't actually edit some of the pages it creates...
gollark: My new replicator (which is admittedly just the previous one tweaked slightly) creates C(++)* articles.
gollark: They do persist some data between copies, but very little.
gollark: Trouble with that is that it is very easy to make totally wrong code and very hard to make better code.
gollark: Currently we just have a few lineages of boring replicator plus the frog one.
