gollark: Oh, and the way everything is mutable by default can cause badness.

gollark: Plus !!referential transparency!!.

gollark: `is` is terrible and confusing because it's object identity and will *appear* to work sometimes when it's wrong.

gollark: It would be easier and more consistent to just do `not (whatever in whatever)`.

gollark: I mean, consider `is not` and `not in` and stuff. Who thought "hmm yes we will complicate the parsing logic to make this work"?
