gollark: Good idea.
gollark: no, contribute to potatOS.
gollark: My thing:- redefines FS functions in new env table- deep-copies a bunch of permitted APIs/libraries into it- redefines getfenv, load in env table- runs init file in new environment via `load`

gollark: os.run is run inside that init file.
