gollark: Slightly unoptimized and buggy hash tables, linked lists even though they're generally awful datastructures because they're easy to implement, actually I can't think of other instances immediately.
gollark: This sort of attitude leads to mildly worse code everywhere.
gollark: Doesn't C have some `hcreate` thing?
gollark: osmarkslispFPGA™ when?!
gollark: It's not like C is very close to the hardware nowadays *either*. With enough investment we could probably have had fast Lisp machines too.
