Notable coaches
gollark: I mean, some people like using them, I personally don't, either way is easier to work on than assembly, mostly.
gollark: C# actually allows you to do neat functional programming things now, to some extent.
gollark: There are *at least* three high-level languages, and not all of them are C# and Java.
gollark: Or you can just design stuff better and still use classes, I suppose.
gollark: Because there are in fact non-java ones.
