gollark: For my random bodging, I probably want it to be interpreted, don't care about speed, and do not want to spent 5 hours mucking around with monads or something.
gollark: You can install an AUR helper manually and have it install AUR packages for you after that.
gollark: Yes, hence using it for random bodging.
gollark: Yes, not pypi, but for the built-in ones and some stuff like, what is it now, requests/http3.
