gollark: It has nice features but also horrible things.
gollark: I tried using it for stuff and I disliked it.
gollark: Haskell is obviously no, Python is quite slow and has different ecosystem problems as well as a remarkable amount of weird inconsistency, JS dependencies break after about 5 months and it's an awful language, Rust is somewhat nice but annoying compared to higher level languages, Clojure is maybe good however Lisp and also Java (well, JVM), and... that's about it?
gollark: OCaml suffers from the same sort of ecosystem problem.
gollark: Thus, I am condemned to eternal suffering and minoteaur will never be finished.
