gollark: So it can't directly access the peripherals unless you pass them through, it has to go through the host.
gollark: The CPU has some sort of magicaceous™ features which limit the virtualized thing's access to... memory and IO, I think?
gollark: Also, generally poor type system, *awful* error handling, resistance to abstractiona nd general design which treats the programmer as if they cannot make their own decisions.
gollark: Oh, and channels are a somewhat bad concurrency primitive.
gollark: Also how they have their own assembly language which is like AMD64 but slightly different, uses ALL CAPS to "emphasise that assembly is dangerous" or something, and uses ·s in symbol names for horrible reasons.
