Personnel
gollark: For example, `"abcd" / "d"` = `(1/"d") * "abcd"`.
gollark: PotatOS Lua Superset™ has ADTs and pattern matching through baidicoot's somewhat hacky regex substitution logic, *and* you can divide strings in ways which obey SOME mathematical laws.
gollark: PotatOS Lua Superset™ > QBasic
