gollark: What's the use of minificatinizing that?
gollark: Since it has to connect to my external server, and the event system is really weird in CC, it's kind of hard to get real-time communications working well with it.
gollark: Well, you *can't* replace JSON with CBOR in skynet until SC runs a CC: TwEAKED version with binary websocket `send` which won't happen until one is stable.
gollark: Unlike stupid Lûa which only hæs “tables‘.
gollark: Well, it's more of an issue of "you only have arrays and string->any maps for collections".
