gollark: Well, that last one is wrong.
gollark: ```rustuse ferris_says::say; // from the previous stepuse std::io::{stdout, BufWriter};fn main() { let stdout = stdout(); let out = b"Hello fellow Rustaceans!"; let width = 24; let mut writer = BufWriter::new(stdout.lock()); say(out, width, &mut writer).unwrap();}```Rust is the epitome of readable.
gollark: It's mostly similar.
gollark: So does Rust, even.
gollark: It's like saying that JS is like C++ because they both have C-ish Syntax.
