gollark: Shhhh, don't tell Gibson.
gollark: I'll just hack into your Computron and install cmake again.
gollark: It doesn't matter as long as it grows slower than Moore's law!
gollark: Nim actually sort of has a borrow checker thing as well, somehow, I used some of the stuff tied into that for my tree traversal stuff.
