gollark: That's actually one of the best ways to put it if you want people to spend several seconds wondering "what?".
gollark: Also also, "convention over configuration" being stupid. Yes, the choice of four spaces vs two isn't too significant, but being able to choose means you'll have code you can possibly read a bit more easily, and also public/privateness via *capitalization* just (in my opinion) looks ugly and is annoying if you want to change privacy.
gollark: i.e. generic slices/maps/channels but not actual generics, == being ***maaaaagic*** (admittedly like in most languages, I think), and `make`/`new`.
gollark: Also, as well as that, how it just special-cases stuff instead of implementing reusable solutions.
gollark: e.g. no map function existing or even being possible means that you have *readable* code with a for loop, but it's harder to understand *why that's there* and *what it's for*.
