gollark: Not that I agree with use of OOP oriented programming, of course.
gollark: Lua can do that too in a more general way via `__index`.
gollark: No.
gollark: Not "simple" in the Go sense where it's "simple" because they didn't add necessary features and added 1841894174091874189471 edge cases, it's *actually* quite simple as a language.
gollark: I actually quite like Lua (apart from some minor apiocity), it's very consistent and simple.
