Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Asaccus.
gollark: Probably some code interacting with it got a null pointer, or something like that.
gollark: i.e. not a Python program being buggy and definitely not Python itself
gollark: > OpenShot Library (libopenshot) is a powerful, cross-platform open-source C++ video editing library, dual-licensed under the LGPL version 3.0 and available under a commercial license.

gollark: Low-level systems stuff. JS is probably more appropriate for this, even, as it actually has resizable arrays natively.
gollark: The "lib" prefix makes it sound like a native library.
