gollark: Including stuff like "read all of handle and then close it" (plus convenience stuff for fs.open/http.get), probably some of potatOS's random vaguely general-purpose stuff like compression, "safe" (de)serialization, map/reduce/filter/other stuff, randomly pick item from list, generate random bytestring, etc.

gollark: I quite like the FP style, but Lua makes it annoying, so I'm looking at making a FP/general convenience lib for potatOS.
