Description
The colouration of this nudibranch is flamboyant, principally with a purple background, orange ridges on the back and yellow spots on the foot.[5]
gollark: I think how well it would work depends on details of Lua bytecode I know very little about.
gollark: True, true, but we're discussing a hardware implementation of Lua, so sanity is mostly out the window.
gollark: No, but it means you *can do* more optimizations.
gollark: Yes, I know, did you read what I *said*?
gollark: Bytecode is higher-level, so *possibly* amenable to more optimization.
