Notes
gollark: Mine is the text editor in OS.js.
gollark: I want to edit configuration files and whatnot sometimes and not learn vimsanity.
gollark: nano is great.
gollark: WHY*JIT* does some madness in order to just run the regular C compiler (bundled with your code for portability, of course) and then execute the result.
gollark: Someone was annoying and refused to accept that.
