Notable people

Sanahin was also the birthplace of the two well-known Mikoyan brothers.[1] Artem Mikoyan was a well known airplane constructor, and one of the "fathers" of MiG. Anastas Mikoyan was the politician with the longest career of any member of the Soviet Politburo. He was involved in negotiating the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, was a member of the Soviet delegation trying to improve relations with Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslavia, and played a major role in the Cuban Missile Crisis negotiations. A fraction of visitors to the monastery also stop at the small nearby Mikoyan museum in the former school, run by Mikoyans' relatives.

gollark: We memetically bombard this with the idea that the current situation is not optimal, and THEN genericize them.
gollark: Of course.
gollark: As a Go developer, you have surely encountered at some point something using the `container` package, containing things like `container/ring` (ring buffers), `container/list` (doubly linked list), and `container/heap` (heaps, somehow). You may also have noticed that use of these APIs requires `interface{}`uous type casting. As a Go developer you almost certainly do not care about the boilerplate, but know that this makes your code mildly slower, which you ARE to care about.
gollark: High demand for generics by programmers around the world is clear, due to the development of languages like Rust, which has highly generic generics, and is supported by Mozilla, a company. As people desire generics, the market *is* to provide them.
gollark: Hmm.
