gollark: What should people use instead of Python? (Do not suggest C, or you will be wrong.)

gollark: This entire argument is ridiculous. Just store ASTs on disk and have your editor convert to your preferred syntax on-demand.
gollark: The great thing about representing functions as an infinite set of ordered pairs is that defining inverse functions is really easy.
