Treatment
gollark: <@!426660245738356738> `load` and `loadstring` both just "compile" code from a supplied string, but take mildly different arguments.
gollark: `shell.run`/`dofile`/`os.run` use load(string) internally *anyway*, you see.
gollark: As has been said, the best way to execute user supplied code if you need to for some reason is `load`/`loadstring`. With environment meddling it can even be sandboxed a bit.
gollark: <@426660245738356738> Writing it to a file and executing it is slower and stupider than using load/loadstring. Please do not do that.
gollark: Possibly not *the* one everyone talks about though.
