gollark: I think OC allows you to whitelist users of a computer (not in software, as in people who aren't allowed literally can't interact with the computer) for some stupid reason, actually.
gollark: Well, lots of them use C bindings which won't work, but lots of Lua libraries, at least.
gollark: This is because they both run Lua (slightly different versions) and have access to any sort of Lua library you can use.
gollark: Anyway. Basically anything which doesn't require world interaction which OC can do, CC can also do.
gollark: I don't appreciate you characterizing everything I or someone else says as a "smart alec remark".
