    gollark: That's a horrible bodge which has all kinds of problems.
    gollark: Being actually-simple is a design goal which I think is important, but this is not the way to do it, and I don't think it should be at the expense of useful features which improve readability. Like being able to ACTUALLY ABSTRACT THINGS.
    gollark: Or RPNCalc v2.
    gollark: Or lisp.
    gollark: Simple would be Haskell without all the language extensions.
