gollark: Erlang: it exists.
gollark: Good news! I am now first in the bidding for the obelisk!
gollark: So I'm sending random Unicode sequences now to try and test more cases, and it seems like on some of them it hangs a bit? I don't know if it's my program, terminal or actually the server, but it's odd.

gollark: Or be very collision-prone on that sort of data?
