gollark: Hmm, troubling.
gollark: ```lualocal function has_cycles(x) local o, e = pcall(textutils.serialise, x) return not o and e:match "recursive"end```
gollark: Well, if you want to know just for serializing things, you can just `pcall` textutils.serialise.
gollark: Changes I made:- check reactor methods in the loop- make the only thing in the `if` statement be setting `txt`, so that it runs the rest of the code for *both*- pass `print` multiple parameters, since it can use that happily- inline calls to stuff- `term` calls directly instead of `shell.run "clear"`, which is mildly more efficient- indentation
