gollark: Plus !!referential transparency!!.
gollark: `is` is terrible and confusing because it's object identity and will *appear* to work sometimes when it's wrong.
gollark: It would be easier and more consistent to just do `not (whatever in whatever)`.
gollark: I mean, consider `is not` and `not in` and stuff. Who thought "hmm yes we will complicate the parsing logic to make this work"?
gollark: ... Python actually somewhat bad, because it's really very complicated and has tons of oddly specific syntax.
