gollark: Idea: name an esolang something which is unrepresentable as a wiki page title, Discord message or spoken out loud.
gollark: Zstd 1.1.3 contains a multi-threaded compression API that allows a compression operation to leverage multiple threads. The output from this API is compatible with the Zstandard frame format and doesn't require any special handling on the decompression side. In other words, a compressor can switch to the multi-threaded API and decompressors won't care.
