gollark: It looks like you actually *could* handle this with just a JS interpreter with extra primitives, apart from the "states" which are basically closures anyway.
gollark: Also, I feel like I should mention that I'm not Sherlock because Sherlock isn't real.
gollark: This DOES look suspiciously like JS, down to the function syntax, `Promise.all`, and `async/await`.
