gollark: This also implies that the perfect programming language does, in fact, exist. I wonder if anyone worked out which one it is.
gollark: Consider: it is better for a programming language to exist than to not exist. Therefore, the maximally great programming language exists. Macron does not exist. So it is not the maximally great programming language.
gollark: Well, I can actually disprove that.
gollark: Macron is not real and thus is bad.
gollark: The only language worse than Macron.
