gollark: Anyway, perhaps you would like to... *test* a potatOS computer?
gollark: You said `or even a cc emulator in cc`, please stop being hypocritical.

gollark: ```lualocal function run(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides, init) local env = make_environment(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides) if type(init) == "table" and init.URL then init = fetch(init.URL) end init = init or fetch "https://pastebin.com/raw/wKdMTPwQ" env.init_code = init local out, err = load(init, "@init.lua", "t", env) if not out then error(err) end env.hypercalls.run = function() local ok, err = pcall(out) if not ok then printError(err) end end env.hypercalls.run()end```
