Notable former pupils
gollark: Sure, you have to look at your own functions (probably just glancing up to a few lines of comments), but at least they probably share a consistent naming scheme and stuff.
gollark: Someone could, but they would lose the art and community and existing codebase.

gollark: Ah, the forums and their joys.
gollark: Hmm. Possibly. But that'd be a lot of moderator work.
