gollark: I would really, excluding the fact that their ecosystems are so bees, prefer to be writing in F# or OCaml or something than Rust, since I do not care about performance as long as common operations take <20ms or so.
gollark: Fine! I'll say something ELSE then! ML-family languages INTERESTING but LACKING IN TOOLING AND ECOSYSTEM!
gollark: > we get it you hate c get new materialWell, I tried mildly disliking python.
gollark: Was my `quick sort.c` not good enough for you?
gollark: If you do that, I will write the most !!FUN!! C possible.
