gollark: Which do you think is slower: the execution or generation of strings?
gollark: ```pythonimport itertoolschars = [chr(x) for x in range(32, 126)]chars.extend(["\t", "\n"])def generate_for_length(length): return map(lambda chars: "".join(chars),itertools.combinations(chars, length))def generate(): for i in itertools.count(): for s in generate_for_length(i): yield sfor x in generate(): try: print(exec(x)) except Exception as e: print(f"{e} from {x}")```
gollark: I should multithread this!
