gollark: Ah, Tux1! Heavserver?
gollark: Recent experiments with apiolectromagnetic induction have determined that it is closer to seven.
gollark: Otherwise, it is like seven (8) apioforms.
gollark: The main thing shell has going for it is that it's very easy to write small things with and it has great support for concurrency and external process stuff.
gollark: Unfathomable quoting horror, lol no algebraic data types, poor error handling, bad control structures, essentially zero type system...
