gollark: Yes.
gollark: I quite like the FP style, but Lua makes it annoying, so I'm looking at making a FP/general convenience lib for potatOS.
gollark: The main large thing I work on is potatOS, which someone wanted me to rewrite in amulet, but that would be impractical as it's quite large and not really programmed in a very functional style.
gollark: My stuff is mostly designed as "insanely weakly typed with minimal sanity checks", while most of the CC standard libraries/programs go for "have some type checking on function arguments".
gollark: Oh, right. I assumed you meant it would make `type` return that, but I don't think CC has that implemented.
