gollark: ESOLANG IDEA?
gollark: Solution: when an asynchronous function finishes, randomly jump elsewhere in the source code.
gollark: Solution: after every asynchronous operation, spawn a new interpreter process with the new data.
gollark: Oh, and the node libraries are an unholy mix of callbacks, promises and events.
gollark: I like npm the tooling but not npm the repository or much of the language.
