gollark: - unbee python- the osmarkspythonbuildsystem™ functions/variables, to the extent that they exist, constitute an "embedded domain specific language"- Python is more featureful than Dale syntax, however- well, mine does it seminonawfully, if you don't mind its complete lack of job throttling
gollark: Via parser combinators, I can define *exactly* what I want and easily parse it, unless it involves left recursion in which case aææææßæææaæææaaaaæææææææ.

gollark: - yes, python, inevitably- python *is* highly questionable DSL- more features, because python- concurrency, which is the future
