gollark: The one issue I can think of is that Lua strings are basically just sequences of bytes but JSON has to so some escaping. It should just, well, do the escaping, though, so that seems odd.

gollark: <@301092081827577866> It should support AES transmitted over it fine...
gollark: It's probably automatic.
