Notes
gollark: Loads of my projects contain copy-pasted functions to make that sort of thing mildly more convenient.
gollark: Library idea: a convenient utility library for stuff like writing/reading files (as text/JSON/table format/whatever), HTTP requests, and other random stuff.
gollark: The server decides what to send you and when and also decides what to do with your messages.
gollark: You can't just receive messages through them without doing anything, you *connect* to a websocket server and then receive messages and can also send them.
