gollark: Oh yes, MICROSOFT TEAMS.
gollark: Modern computers are *extremely fast*. Billions of instructions per second *per core*. Yet somehow software gets increasingly terrible such that just having a chat app like this open (in a browser) uses a substantial fraction of that, and enough memory to store several hundred *novels*.
gollark: Everything is fast with sufficiently good computers. That doesn't make it not bad.
gollark: Starting up heavily modded Minecraft takes several minutes, uses tons of RAM (this is admittedly mostly Mojang's fault), and actually prints an impressive amount of warnings.
gollark: Do you know other programming languages?
