Builder's plate

A builder's plate is usually a metal plate that is attached to rolling stock, bogies, construction equipment, trucks, automobiles, large household appliances, bridges, ships and more. It gives such information as the name of the manufacturer, the place and country of manufacture, the model number, the serial number, as well as the date of manufacture or date of fabrication of the item or unit.

gollark: It has nice features which modern ones don't match, like first class environments, metatables and coroutines.
gollark: There are some which are perfectly good *languages* in my opinion but just don't have good libraries and such available, like Lua.
gollark: I can write JS fine but dislike it somewhat, as I dislike all programming languages ever for different reasons.
gollark: They like using weird terminology a lot to be annoyng.
gollark: I think I've looked at the API docs a bit, but discord.py has better documentation so I just use that mostly.
