gollark: <@332271551481118732> You do compilers → now implement all of gollarC ever.
gollark: Further idea: to be more webscale™, gollarC also ships with builtin HTML templating and something something mongoDB cloud.
gollark: Also `let`, but it's just syntax sugar for `const int`.
gollark: `async` does nothing but confuse the error messages slightly.
gollark: `await`... spawns a new thread for your thing, waits for it to finish, and gives you the result. Yes, this is a good idea.
