gollark: Stok?
gollark: If you want to write excessively verbose code depending on a fragile package system which relies heavily on compiler magic, doesn't affect me, I'll continue working on my projects and avoiding lots of boilerplate etc!

gollark: Others may do the same stuff *better*.
gollark: They may in fact be right about things?
