gollark: You can use luadash.
gollark: ```rust#[macro_use] extern crate serenity;extern crate dotenv;use serenity::client::{Client, EventHandler};use serenity::framework::standard::StandardFramework;use std::env;struct Handler;impl EventHandler for Handler {}pub fn main() { dotenv::dotenv().ok(); // Load bot token from environment, let mut client = Client::new(&env::var("DISCORD_TOKEN").expect("token unavailable"), Handler) .expect("Error creating client"); client.with_framework(StandardFramework::new() .configure(|c| c.prefix("~")) .cmd("ping", ping)); if let Err(why) = client.start() { eprintln!("An error occured: {:?}", why); }}command!(ping(_context, message) { let _ = message.reply("Pong!");});```Fun with discord bots, and yes this is literally the example code.
