gollark: It also doesn't support bytestrings, datetimes, non-string-keyed maps, or anything more complex than objects, arrays, strings, numbers and nulls.
gollark: That's not an actual format. Files with `.conf` extensions contain many different incompatible weird things.

gollark: There are PCIe switch thingies but they're expensive and you still have limited bandwidth to the CPU.
