gollark: Anyway, if you have useful protocol change ideas please submit them somewhere so I can maybe implement them.
gollark: No, that would probably be hard to support and I don't really like them.
gollark: I think msgpack is technically superior, but potatOS doesn't actually ship code for it right now.
gollark: It supports a msgpack-based encoding instead, but none of the clients except the JS-based test one actually use that.
gollark: You can actually use the older v1 protocol (there are no v2 and v3, it's complicated) really easily with wscat or something. There's just no interesting traffic mostly.
