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")```
gollark: Sorry, this is utterly incomprehensible to my feeble JS-using mind.
gollark: Assembly is functional because you can define functions in it.
