Notes
  1. Appearance(s) in the EFL Trophy.
gollark: Or it would if I didn't just inefficiently clone the trees near-continuously.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ suffers from this somewhat.
gollark: Anyway, I've found that Rust makes some scenarios substantially more annoying. Mostly when dealing with weird trees and such a GC would handle nicely.
gollark: How bad.
gollark: Also, ew.
