Emeritus and alumni
Notable alumni of the department include:

gollark: Python has more library support for the various useful tasks I need.
gollark: > Why is it not written in Superior: tm: Rust?!ABRv1 was, this is not.
gollark: I did make a bunch of tweaks since I don't like how it did stuff.
gollark: It MIGHT be somewhat entirely derived from JSK.
gollark: ```pythonCORO_CODE = """async def repl_coroutine(): import asyncio import aiohttp import discord from discord.ext import commands"""async def async_exec(code, loc, glob): user_code = ast.parse(code, mode='exec') wrapper = ast.parse(CORO_CODE, mode='exec') funcdef = wrapper.body[-1] funcdef.body.extend(user_code.body) last_expr = funcdef.body[-1] if isinstance(last_expr, ast.Expr): funcdef.body.pop() funcdef.body.append(ast.Return(last_expr.value)) ast.fix_missing_locations(wrapper) exec(compile(wrapper, "<repl>", "exec"), loc, glob) return await (loc.get("repl_coroutine") or glob.get("repl_coroutine"))()```
