Plot introduction
The book centers around the discovery of an apparent gryphon skull (in reality a skull from a dinosaur), and the efforts of Sostratos to get the skull back to scholars for study.
gollark: Rust is neat, since it has a cool non-GC but still safe and reasonably declarative memory management model, a really nice type system, and good performance, but it's also somewhat more annoying for me to write in than less strict GCed languages.
gollark: Or, well, no curly brackets.
gollark: I like F#, which is a FP language with no brackets or anything which is compatible with C#/.NET stuff.
gollark: C++ is like C but stupider and overcomplicated, and C# is totally different.
gollark: I mean, I don't like C very much (as a general application programming language) because it is very unsafe, but unlike PHP it actually has... some amount of design.
