gollark: Hmm. How about Node.js in the callback era, but MORE SO? Every single operation requires a callback.
gollark: https://a.osmarks.tk/www.computercraft.info/A/Main_Page.htmlmuahahahahaha.
gollark: Oh, I forgot the finish, oops.
gollark: Or even```rustfn main() { for i in 0..=10 { println!("{}", i); }}```
gollark: Although this really seems less clear than, say,```javascript-nodefor (let i = 0; i <= 10; i++) console.log(i)console.log("finish")```
