gollark: For what purpose?

gollark: One of the ides is the ides of March; it is known (Spurinna, -44) that this is to be feared. This, and their use in bee colonies, means hexagons are among the most fearsome shapes.

gollark: It's sort of functional but not publicly available.

gollark: Well, you can have a TAR of the source code or something.
