gollark: It's, what, dynamically typed and... statically... traited, right?
gollark: Also, dynamic typing.
gollark: It does not actually exist. I can't run it.
gollark: I don't do stuff which requires more performance than "common stuff completes in under a few tens of milliseconds", so honestly I'd prefer a GCed language like OCaml over Rust, except Rust actually has good libraries and tooling.
gollark: Macron doesn't seem very good.
