gollark: There is also extreme weirdness with, er, `x = ([], [])x[0] += ["bees"]`.
gollark: Which can have some unexpected results.
gollark: Also, it has weird special casing with comparison operators: `5 <= x <= 10` is actually valid and does what you might expect if you were a MATHS PERSON.
gollark: Oh, and the way everything is mutable by default can cause badness.
gollark: Plus !!referential transparency!!.
