gollark: Isn't cast unsafe?
gollark: Is it possible (and valid) to convert a `seq[byte]` to a `string`? asynchttpserver appears to not have any way to send `seq[byte]`s as responses, but I want to respond with a PNG.
gollark: Does anyone know where I can get help on weird SQLite issues? A query in my application was really slow when running but fine when I ran it in `sqlite3`, and I tracked it down to the query planner generating different code for a prepared statement using parameter binding versus one which just contains the value directly.
gollark: Never mind, I checked nimble instead of just the stdlib, there is a thing for this.
gollark: Is there something like `mktemp` available which generates a random folder under `/tmp`? `os.getTempDir()` has a bunch of warnings and also seems to only find the platform equivalent of `/tmp`.
