gollark: ALL SOFTWARE is bloat.
gollark: Change the resolve part, and you'll have to make the caller async too.
gollark: But my launcher uses the much simpler heuristic of putting the 20 most recently used apps in a list and works basically as well.
gollark: Google's application launcher on Android guesses what apps you might want to use based on location and time and stuff apparently.
gollark: But having computers predict user behaviour granularly is really hard, so the only capabilities for that are very primitive.
