gollark: In Java if you want to declare a new type to store some data and have equality and hashing and whatnot, it's horrible and complex and you can't even do operator overloading.
gollark: I mean, in sane languages if you want to declare a new type you can do `data Bees = Bees Int String deriving (Show, Eq)` or whatever.
gollark: It's harder to understand if it's verbose and whatnot.
gollark: ... being... sane?
gollark: Yes.
