gollark: Installing Lapis off LuaRocks seems to bring in an old version of `pgmoon` which requires `luabitop` which doesn't work beyond 5.2, is there a way to make LuaRocks pull directly off the git repository or something?
gollark: Huh. This does *also* look asynchronous. I guess I can probably deal with it being mildly less efficient, I don't need massive throughput.
gollark: I'm mostly just looking at options right now, wasn't aware there was a non-OpenResty way to use Lapis.
gollark: There seem to be some Lua SQLite3 bindings, but I worry that those would ruin performance because of not fitting into the non-blocking-IO thing.
gollark: Hi! Is there a way to use SQLite idiomatically with Lapis? I'm looking at using it for a thing.
