gollark: Would adding the LZW library potatOS uses be useful? It's basically a minimal compression thing.
gollark: Maybe libdatatape would be useful if I swap out the random proprietary (and mostly made by someone else and tweaked by me because it did integers wrong) serialization format for CBOR, or let you provide your own.
gollark: I think a big one is RXI's JSON thing, although that got obsoleted on newer versions by `textutils.unserialiseJSON` or whatever it is.
gollark: The particularly good ones are generally from other people.
gollark: Well, I have some libraries, I don't think they're mostly all that *useful*.
