Taxonomy

Kretania used to be often included in Polyommatus or in Plebejus, but molecular studies have led to reinstate it as a valid genus, now also encompassing species formerly included in Plebejides (i.e. the pylaon species-group), and K. alcedo (formerly in Vacciniina).

gollark: It means you can't check things statically very well.
gollark: You cannot, say, implement a vector without unsafely doing `void*` everywhere and asking people to pass it sizeofs a lot.
gollark: C has very weak types; stuff will arbitrarily be coerced into other stuff half the time, and it has no generics.
gollark: You're forgetting that Rust has somewhat more stuff going on than "safer C". It also ACTUALLY HAS A TYPE SYSTEM, unlike C.
gollark: Remote function calls, basically.
