gollark: There's CC: Tweaked, even if CC *itself* is dead.

gollark: Computer mods aren't used much because it's very annoying to make them perform tasks more focused mods can do better.

gollark: It encourages people to not write code which can deal with sudden interuptions.

gollark: Persistence somewhat bad.
