gollark: There is no namespacing, you have to do horrible hackery to make stuff only get included once, and it's less performant than an actual module system would be.
gollark: It does module-system-type things. It's just bad.
gollark: `#include`
gollark: But I think it's *also* rather bad, given stuff like the terrible module system, rampant undefined behaviour, and general inexpressiveness.
gollark: I'm not sure it's *that* simple given various bits of weirdness like type declaration syntax and the separate preprocessor/compiler thing.
