gollark: IIRC this has issues if the shared thing contains further GCed things.
gollark: I may just do the somewhat horrible channel thing then.
gollark: Images are generated at intervals and then may be used to respond to lots of HTTP requests.
gollark: I guess I could make the thing which needs the images poll a channel from the other thread and put them in a table then, but that seems terrible.
gollark: I have another problem. I need to offload the generation of the image things to another thread, since it's quite slow. It seems that just passing a tableref to `createThread` and having it update that doesn't work, since the table is presumably copied at some point. I looked at channels, but they don't look like they work well with async. What's the best way to do this?
