gollark: <@157279244962103296> You run a Skynet server, right? Or wanted to or whatever?
gollark: I have an almost-complete Rust rewrite of Skynet going here. Unfortunately, it drops all backwards compatibility (on the protocol, the client API should work the same) to make the code nicer and drops the logs feature. Thoughts?
