gollark: I prefer programming language but whatever.
gollark: PHP's libraries are a messy hodgepodge of C, Perl, and probably a million other things.
gollark: Sure, you have to look at your own functions (probably just glancing up to a few lines of comments), but at least they probably share a consistent naming scheme and stuff.
gollark: Someone could, but they would lose the art and community and existing codebase.
gollark: If there was a new DC, I'd really just like more accurate live to-the-second countdowns. Seriously. It's annoying not having such things.
