Twin towns — sister cities
Stakčín is twinned with:[1]
gollark: I have an environment table with new `fs` functions, and I want `loadfile` and `os.run` and whatever to use those.
gollark: Well, how am I supposed to make this work properly?
gollark: Er, no.
gollark: Why would you want to do that?
gollark: <@113673208296636420> What you said about setfenv seems to be wrong. It does return a function pointer or whatever, yes, but it also modifies the environment of the existing function in-place.
