gollark: i really hate all these language with references or whatnot garbage underneath. Same complex thing happens when you copy list (thus you beget “deep copy”, “shallow copy”, “circular list”, dung like that). Of course, the fanatics of each language will start to mumble about technicalities particular to each of their own, and accuse you no-unstand. YOU NO UNSTAND!
gollark: Aaargh copy correctly stupid browser!
