Notes

  1. Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p162.
gollark: Shellscripts are, somewhat relatedly, very weird and run line-by-line, so you can just stick some binary data at the bottom and as long as you exit before the interpreter hits it it somehow works.
gollark: Parseable without executing it, though, is different.
gollark: http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2009/08/on-parsing-perl-5.html
gollark: I heard that Perl was actually unparseable since the form of some construct or other depended on information only available at runtime.
gollark: There are lots of other articles on it, but basically horrible inconsistency and bloated bodginess.
