Cast (in credits order)
gollark: I'm trying to get the CBOR library skynet uses to run, but due to the stupidity of all JS tooling the compiler just outputs a ridiculous error.
gollark: Parcel is a nice zero-configuration bundler, except the zero-configuration approach and the fragility of the JS ecosystem means it just broke for no reason.
gollark: Ugh, I'll just use webpack and make myself suffer probably more.
gollark: Well, skynet itself is in Rust, but the web UI is JS-based, obviously.
gollark: I'm working on some new skynet features, actually, but JS is annoying and stupid.
