@DekaBlack @isaactly_s well if you rather be a 'fisherist' or 'fishingyperson' go right ahead, but 'fisherfighter' (or 'fishfighter') is a total win in my books.

@xocolatli @isaactly_s you may be surprised to learn that using a language is only viable if the intended audience understands that language

Technically true! We conquer your garbage problem.

@isaactly_s Honestly, "garbagefighter" sounds pretty awesome. Way better than "garbage collector" or whatever. Anyway, that term's been coopted by the software industry.

@ratsnakegames @isaactly_s Are you implying that only the language with the largest userbase is relevant?

@CowMan @DekaBlack @isaactly_s we call them "fishers" in Canada, but this has more interesting energy!
