gollark: ```javascriptimport m = require("mithril")import * as RPCTypes from "../common/rpc"export const sendMessage = (msg: RPCTypes.Message): Promise<RPCTypes.MessageResponse> => { return m.request( { method: "POST", url: "./rpc/", body: msg, }).then(res => { const [ type, p1, p2 ] = res if (type === "error") { throw new RPCTypes.RPCError(p2, p1) } else if (type === "ok") { return p1 } else { throw new Error("Invalid RPC response") } })}const handler = { get: (target, prop) => (...args) => sendMessage([prop, ...args])}export const serverProxy = new Proxy({}, handler)```

gollark: The RPC thing and some JS hax on the client mean I can basically just call any function the server provides as if it's a local one (except asynchronously).

gollark: minoteaur is just plain RPC - you do `POST /rpc` with a function and its arguments as JSON.

gollark: You're forced to try and map the data/functions your thing provides onto a structure which may not really fit them well.

gollark: To be honest I find REST kind of an uncool way to design APIs.
