Notes
    gollark: I would tell you a Haskell joke but the `joke` package has no documentation and depends on an old version of base.
    gollark: I would also tell you a Jua joke, but it might randomly drop the event.
    gollark: I would tell you a UDP joke, but I don't know if you would get it.
    gollark: But I meant actual Haskell. Just communicate with the server over UDP.
    gollark: Or frege.
