Life and career
Johann Georg Platzer's signature

Platzer was born in Eppan in the County of Tyrol, and came from a family of painters. He painted primarily historical and mythical scenes. The Joanneum Alte Galerie in Graz houses the largest collection of Platzer's work under a single roof. Platzer worked with his uncle as a court painter in Passau. He returned to Eppan where he continued to work until his death in 1761.[1]

gollark: - lacking in generics - you have to use `interface{}`- public/private visibility is controlled by *capitalization* of all things- weird bodgey specialcasing instead of good generalizable solutions- you literally cannot express a `max` function which returns the largest of two of any type of number in a well-typed way
gollark: Go's syntax is kind of nicer but its awful type system (yes, worse than an untyped language's) is... not good.
gollark: You know, it very much might be.
gollark: It's currently sitting at "basic features work" (editing, creating, viewing note pages), but more advanced stuff is not implemented because the design is hard to do elegantly.
gollark: It's going slowly because programming is hard and I'm lazy and conflicted on some design aspects.
