Ancestry

gollark: clang/LLVM is in C++, so arguably it depends on itself (a past version, anyway).
gollark: It does more than "read and write files", that cryoapiodrone.
gollark: As planned.
gollark: Over time, tons of the stuff which people said was opaque to study (and which was ascribed to god or whatever mostly) has turned out to actually be entirely possible to study.
