gollark: Yes. I can, happily, mostly just run them in my browser.
gollark: I use Void Linux for purposes, I find it much nicer than Raspbian. Also more lightweight.
gollark: Perhaps it has some sort of connection tracking limit.
gollark: Not unsafe in the sense that it'll do undefined behaviour probably, just that you can't statically be sure it only contains the type you want.
gollark: It's a wildly unsafe and slow "generic", and you can write fast code with generics. More so than if you have to unsafely typecast any time you want a data structure other than the 3 built-in ones.
