gollark: Code not working is the default state of it. To make it work is much harder than to make it not work.
gollark: Actually, maybe not, I'm not quite sure... oh well.
gollark: It has to be poorly written code which also does fancy stuff.
gollark: Anyway, in *most cases* suspension should work okay, though may result in errors in poorly written code.
gollark: I guess I can add an event queue for, at least, timers, or bodge in timer support.
