gollark: Oh, sorry, the actual version which is used only generates chars between 32 and 127 or so.
gollark: Source.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: ```lua-- Generate "len" random bytes as a stringlocal function randbytes(len) local out = "" for i = 1, len do out = out .. string.char(math.random(1, 255)) end return outend```
gollark: I decided to write a program to just randomly produce bits of code and run them. Somehow, TPS on switchcraft hasn't been affected, and it turns out that most valid randomly generated code begins with `#` for some reason.
