gollark: oh βees.
gollark: Anyway, cubez, it is possible that Rust is not actually suited for what you want to do. Thus:- do a different thing- use a different language
gollark: This is false, as Rust is perfect in every way, actually.
gollark: What?
gollark: That isn't exactly true, though. You can prove stuff based on axioms in maths, and "prove" stuff by at least showing it isn't very likely to not be the case through empirical testing and statistics.
