gollark: Sounds good.
gollark: Which are probably basically the same but fancier-sounding.
gollark: And perhaps awful "handles" could be replaced with cool and trendy things like "streams".
gollark: Non-evil FS API ideas:- direct `write`/`read` access - no handles or handles emulated on top of this - either that or your thing can implement *either* handles *or* direct read/write and have the API translate it- no `fs.find`, `fs.combine`, `fs.complete`, `fs.getDir`, `fs.getName`- `mount`/`unmount`- per-file metadata
gollark: Well, actually, potatOS does support it, unless your handle happens to be to a virtualized file, at which point it'll just crash horribly somewhere.
