gollark: Personally I really dislike Go as a language, because it *pretends* to be simple but has weird special cases everywhere to make stuff work and an awful type system, and is generally hostile to abstracting things.
gollark: Python's standard library is *very large* too. `pip` is annoying but has many packages available and there are a lot of builtin ones.
gollark: For generating sensible output, there are better text generation things, but Markov chains have the advantage of being really simple.
gollark: The main reason I like caddy is just that it does HTTPS conveniently, and I reshuffle subdomains and such a lot so that's quite helpful.
gollark: Apache uses some weird XMLy thing and also htaccess.
