gollark: Was I unclear? Consider Lua's coroutines.
gollark: Oh, and as all functions are implicitly cooperatively multithreaded coroutines, it is possible for a function to suspend execution and then have the parent edit the locals in it.
gollark: I agree. That's why Macron actually lets you edit the closure-bound variables of functions, and *preemptively* set their locals before they even run.
gollark: Yes it does. Anyway, ICMP(v6) perhaps?
gollark: Hmm. Aside from IRC, possibly SSH, and HTTP(S), what should Onstat monitor?
