gollark: I prefer higher level stuff, although it may be the least bad available one now.
gollark: This is fairly troubling. I want to produce a game of some kind, ideally to run on the web (this isn't a big constraint nowadays given WASM). Unfortunately there are about 0 languages I like enough to use for this‽
