gollark: Yes, it's Turing-complete*, but that doesn't mean I want to write```cint32_t_iterator_of_some_kind thing = make_iterator();while (int32_t x = get_element(thing)) { // do thing with x}free_iterator(thing)```* not actually Turing-complete, due to weird spec quirks
gollark: It isn't. Its type system CANNOT correctly express generics, which you need for good iterators. Its insufficiently good memory management mechanisms would require manually freeing and allocing them, which is no. Its lack of good metaprogramming capabilities (the macros are not sufficient) means I couldn't make iterators which were actually *nice to use*.
gollark: No.
gollark: No. I don't know what GA is.
gollark: Hyperbolic geometry (not bees).
