gollark: The CSS is obviously the kind I write (trivially), it inconsistently uses fairly advanced new JS like template strings and destructuring and Uint8Arrays, it uses overly general operations like zip and cartesian product and map and insertDiagonalFrom, it also uses the exotic labelling feature, I doubt many people here know about WebWorkers or the ridiculous hack I came up with a while ago to do them without an actual external file, it does IO in such an ugly accursed way, and the AI is insane.
gollark: But it would have been funny, at least.
gollark: I decided not to because I knew it was you anyway and giving other people more information would be bad.
gollark: Wow, I really should have actually run the bruteforce thing.
gollark: It was below 10KB.
