gollark: It does not. It was written several months ago and is really quite bad.
gollark: For some reason CraftOS-PC just says it can't mount the ROM whenever I try to use it, even though my ROM folder exists and is readable and I tried directly passing it the path to it.
gollark: I had to add some horrible hacks to the VFS redirection logic to mmake it work at all.
gollark: Excitingly, the new potatOS thing actually incorporates a lisp interpreter for some reason I forgot.
gollark: Slightly.
