gollark: Websocket does guarantee ordering I believe, it runs over TCP.
gollark: It might be worth adding a limited multiserver thing though.
gollark: Well, the meta fields are dubiously useful I guess, error reporting is useful if your implementation breaks, and the wildcard channel is designed to reduce required trust via giving everyone snooping powers equivalent to that of the person running the skynet server.
gollark: Perhaps there are other worthwhile features it lacks.
gollark: I should probably fix it to use modern™ asynchronous IO things on the backend, and to incorporate lessons from SPUDNET like "actually doing autoreconnect at all".
