Reception
The film sold widely overseas including to the United States.[1]
gollark: My libraries just have a minified line at the top for downloading dependencies they need.
gollark: CC has many problems for this, like:* Most users are kind of noobish and will just use the simplest solution* There's already a massive patchwork of approaches (mostly just direct download)* People will be annoyed at more installation steps since probably you'll end up installing the package manager for one application you want* Libraries are crazy too - most people pass around old pastebin links
gollark: Luarocks is for libraries.
gollark: They have standards bodies and then someone goes off and does their own thing and that gets popular and then they try to merge the popular thing with the standard so we get weird bodges.
gollark: Likely result:one program uses itit's posted on the forums then ignored
