Cast

gollark: Okay, fine, hold on while I pull up the PotatoBIOS source.
gollark: I could probably add a "force no _G setting" mode to potatOS, but everything would break.
gollark: There was that one time I built a well-hidden rootkit which would randomly edit local variables using debug in programs.
gollark: CC also has debug and bytecode, which are !!FUN!!.
gollark: I mostly work around that by making my programs store vast amounts of state on disk. Which they should do anyway in case of e.g. power failure.
