gollark: WHY DID SOMEONE THINK THIS WAS A GOOD WAY TO DO THINGS
gollark: They're highly intelligent, so they have *one* goroutine constantly read a websocket and write to a channel, *one* goroutine read a TCP socket and write to a channel, and *another* goroutine CONSTANTLY POLLING ALL THE CHANNELS.
gollark: On that note, I don't understand how anyone but a Go programmer could have written this code.
gollark: Yep.
