gollark: ... no.
gollark: But this is wrong™, because that stuff lets you focus on the LOGIC and not the boilerplate.
gollark: Go advocates, who are wrong, claim that stuff like not having iterators makes it easier to understand code.
gollark: I think often it's beneficial to be able to write stuff neatly and elegantly without having to explicitly write everything.
gollark: Well, macros are useful for stuff like println.
