gollark: If you have a central database you'll have to deal with irritating issues of supporting each platform.
gollark: For example, it could go:```Error: Interpreter for !lyricly☭demote☭establish☭communism! not found. Please download it to `interpreters/lyricly_demote_establish_communism`.```and open the page for it in your browser.
gollark: Or make the user manually download the right one for their platform to a given location.
gollark: Call out to external programs. OBVIOUSLY.
