gollark: I also use "generate random bytes" oddly often. That may just be me.
gollark: Also map/filter/whatever, though Luadash does that.
gollark: Stuff like `fread` (my terrible name for "read file to string"), `fwrite` (write string to file), `fetch` (send GET request to given HTTP address and return string result), `copy` (deep-copy a table), etc.
gollark: Loads of my projects contain copy-pasted functions to make that sort of thing mildly more convenient.
gollark: Library idea: a convenient utility library for stuff like writing/reading files (as text/JSON/table format/whatever), HTTP requests, and other random stuff.
