gollark: Anyway <@630513495003103242>, point is, what you want is very difficult and I don't think you can do it well without compromising a lot of functionality.
gollark: Oh, so it just does login and no actual sandboxing?
gollark: I'd like to see. Some offense, but I bet it either doesn't allow you the ability to write/run arbitrary code or doesn't work.
gollark: That's nice, but you still have to implement very complex sandboxing to *do* it.
gollark: The option #3 I suggested was to not have multiple users; just let the person using it edit everything and don't try some awful nonfunctional sandboxing implementation like you've made.
