Prizes

gollark: Is there a way to make luarocks just pull a dependency from git instead of the repository?
gollark: ... why is the copy of moses on luarocks out of date? This is 3 annoying.
gollark: I looked at luadash, but it's not on luarocks. LuaFun appears to have had no development in 3 years.
