gollark: Why is this only russell group ones anyway?
gollark: Also the icons are poorly scaled.
gollark: That list seems very arbitrary.
gollark: I guess you could do that. Although a language with that is probably strongly typed enough that you can't mix types in a list like in JS or whatever. Although you could do a similar thing with interfaces in TS and just have a `render` method if you need to display the thing in your list.
gollark: I meant more like `data Thing = AType Something SomethingElse | BType Int Whatever`.
