gollark: Hi. I'm trying to concurrently read from a websocket and do some things with that socket at an interval, with `async_std` and `tide-websocket`. I thought I could use `task::spawn` for this, but it seems to want that to only use `'static` things, which the websocket connection is not. What's the right way to do this?
gollark: <@619953832918777856> SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT: The letter "j" is banned from this point on.
gollark: I was thinking control flow would mostly be done via special mirrors/surfaces which would duplicate or absorb particles depending on which side they're on.
gollark: Ah. This isn't hugely Photonous. It wouldn't have a grid.
gollark: !esowiki Photon
