gollark: Python is slow and provides few static guarantees and has awful dependency management. Rust is too dependencyuous and often inflexible. Nim has basically no libraries or popular support. All other programming languages are dominated options, as far as I know, by my arbitrary standards.

gollark: Minoteaur 6 used it.
gollark: Nim is much more reasonable, possibly because almost nobody writes libraries for it.
