gollark: Your pathetic infipage?
gollark: This what?
gollark: Hate WHAT?
gollark: I wrote this nice type signature:```rustfn solve(desired: Item, available: Vec<Item>, recipes: MultiMap<ItemType, Recipe>) -> (Vec<Recipe>, Vec<Item>)```
gollark: It'd probably be a bit more annoying, given constraints like "only X amount of items is available".
