gollark: Wait, how do *English* subjunctives work?

gollark: ++exec```luafunction factorial(x)local a = 1for i = 1, x do a = a * iendreturn aendfunction scream(x, a, b)if a == 0 then if b == 0 then return factorial(x) else return math.pow(factorial(x), scream(factorial(x), 0, b - 1)) endlocal p = factorial(scream(x, a - 1, b))return math.pow(g, g) endprint(scream(5, 2, 2))```

gollark: I'll just assume it supports Unicode.

gollark: But it should be valid.

gollark: I mean, I'm not sure what charset maths supports.
