gollark: Well, that last one is wrong.
gollark: ```rustuse ferris_says::say; // from the previous stepuse std::io::{stdout, BufWriter};fn main() { let stdout = stdout(); let out = b"Hello fellow Rustaceans!"; let width = 24; let mut writer = BufWriter::new(stdout.lock()); say(out, width, &mut writer).unwrap();}```Rust is the epitome of readable.
gollark: It's mostly similar.
