gollark: Also, generally poor type system, *awful* error handling, resistance to abstractiona nd general design which treats the programmer as if they cannot make their own decisions.

gollark: Also how they have their own assembly language which is like AMD64 but slightly different, uses ALL CAPS to "emphasise that assembly is dangerous" or something, and uses ·s in symbol names for horrible reasons.
