gollark: osmarksßstring: a hashmap of index in string→character, where each character can be encoded as UTF-8/16/32 individually, but the characters are all just encoded in floats either way, and the array of buckets backing the hashmap is actually a linked list, the indices are arbitrary ordinals represented as lists of floats or something, and the linked list is actually just a general purpose graph data structure abused as a list.
gollark: Diversity of nulls for, what, multiple error signal purposes.
gollark: Which is a great* benefit.
gollark: All is floats none are safe.
gollark: Backward compatibility requires that some octachoron make it START that way.
