gollark: No, I mean the performance could be improved.
gollark: It calls that in a loop.
gollark: Maybe the weighted random implementation is bad?
gollark: ```javascript constructor(data){ switch (typeof data){ case "number": this.weights={}; this.order=data; this.starters={}; break; case "object": this.weights=data.weights; this.starters=data.starters; this.order=data.order; break; } }```Wow, this is giving me a great impression wrt. code quality.
gollark: Perhaps the markov chain implementation can be improved. On the other hand, heavpoot wrote it.
