Etymology

The name comes from Slavic chvojъ, chvoja—tree branches.[2] 1217 caput fontis Hoynicha.[2]

gollark: Basically everywhere! They're faster and don't potentially interfere with other programs.
gollark: Just replace `turnleft` and such with `turtle.turnLeft()`.
gollark: Oh, and the problem is that you have a lot of lines like `turnleft` which aren't actually doing anything and are invalid syntax.
gollark: Why do you have that bit anyway? Why not call `turtle.forward` directly when you're using it?
gollark: That calls the function and sets `go` to whatever it returns.
