gollark: Machine code does often seem to map quite poorly to the actual CPU.
gollark: Hmm, yes, maybe I should be blaming the library designers who abstract over sockets weirdly.
gollark: Given that I mostly use higher-level languages, I generally expect more, well, typed-ness, than "everything is just an integer and there are many different things which operate on these integers in often mutually exclusive ways".
gollark: Maybe, or one data type/API for every protocol.
gollark: Yes.
