gollark: Macron, at last?

gollark: You may have won the game, but you lost the Game.

gollark: Remember when I said to fear my inferential powers, LyricLy, and you IGNORED it, like you IGNORE Macron-related Macron data?

gollark: These are very phasic, I must say. Glad I used apionic induction to use this information!

gollark: The CSS is obviously the kind I write (trivially), it inconsistently uses fairly advanced new JS like template strings and destructuring and Uint8Arrays, it uses overly general operations like zip and cartesian product and map and insertDiagonalFrom, it also uses the exotic labelling feature, I doubt many people here know about WebWorkers or the ridiculous hack I came up with a while ago to do them without an actual external file, it does IO in such an ugly accursed way, and the AI is insane.
