gollark: Skynet's `send` and `receive` functions handle the connection and listening stuff automatically, yes.
gollark: <@94122472290394112> EXT vs Skynet:Skynet:* wildcard channel - allows listening to all system messages* API may be nicer to use, as you don't *need* to call skynet.listen anywhere - you do need to call EXT.run somewhere, in parallel or something* Skynet's backend (not the CC side) assigns each connected socket an ID, and tells you which IDs recevied messages. This is not much use.EXT:* messages only readable by people on same channel or server operator* somewhat more complete API - allows closing channels - Skynet can do this but the CC side doesn't handle it
gollark: Yeeep.
gollark: No, because the storage system just lets you pull out items by their name.
gollark: Modern plethora-based item systems just allow you to deposit and withdraw items by name, that doesn't make sense.
