gollark: <@184468521042968577> Some offense to ElvishJerrico, but you shouldn't use that one as it does not handle the full JSON spec.
gollark: Milo is part of <@227994547626573824>'s Opus OS, by the way.
gollark: Inventory System and Turtlegistics are a bit outdated now but generally work, Wyvern is my project and has a different CLI-only client/server approach but is a bit bad.
