History
Kusova was frequented by American whaleships targeting bowhead whales between 1853 and 1867.[1] They simply called it Round Island. They would anchor off the island and send men ashore to obtain wood.[2]
gollark: Er, it's used in templating.
gollark: It doesn't make it clearer because you (can) miss the important special bits and might just skim over errors in essentially-copy-pasted error handling/synchronization/etc.
gollark: Go makes basically *everything* more explicit and verbose compared to modern high level languages generally.
gollark: Go is very explicit about some things, but having verbosity everywhere cloaks what you actually want to do in vast amounts of boilerplate.
gollark: I would prefer some sort of parallel `map` function, but Go literally will not let you write one. With that, you could just do `urls.par_map(rss.fetch_feed)` (pseudorustaceocode) or something, thus skipping fiddly and problematic sync stuff and making your *intent* clearer.
