gollark: Basically, osmarksunnecessaryIRCserver™ receives connections from clients, for purposes. They are not actually considered registered until they set a nickname. So I currently have it loop and receive messages until it gets `NICK bees` or whatever, at which point it sends the welcome messages, write-locks the global state struct™, writes in the new client connection, and adds the nick to the in-use map.
gollark: Yes, but that would be annoying.
gollark: Hmm. It looks like I need software transactional memory or something, but ææææææ there are not really any good libraries for that?
gollark: What of Haskell 2010's 1274128946128946187461876481648 extensions?
gollark: IRC servers have rather a lot of global state and I have no idea how to manage it nicely.
