Promotional performances

gollark: Just configure your linter or TS or whatever to disallow some stuff.
gollark: You can just mostly ignore the bad parts, though, like `this`.
gollark: I kind of dislike JS as a language, although I do find it very nice to work with for some things (with a typechecker).
gollark: There are, generally, other options.
gollark: Hmm, I thought I had this working but my parser appears to eat ] sometimes.
