gollark: The Macron compiler was able to optimise a collatz conjecture loop to just return immediately but nobody can make it tell why.
gollark: Implement osmarkslisp-rs.
gollark: Not significantly. It's just slightly less efficient than letting it autoassign rowids.
gollark: As Macron is purely functional and deterministic, when an error occurs it simply rewrites the code and time-travel-debuggings it back to the same state, until it stops erroring.
gollark: I think they can be basically equal in convenience if you can do anyhow-style error casting stuff and have try.
