gollark: ```rust#[macro_use] extern crate serenity;use serenity::client::{Client, EventHandler};use serenity::framework::standard::StandardFramework;use std::env;struct Handler;impl EventHandler for Handler {}pub fn main() { // Login with a bot token from the environment let mut client = Client::new(&env::var("DISCORD_TOKEN").expect("token"), Handler) .expect("Error creating client"); client.with_framework(StandardFramework::new() .configure(|c| c.prefix("~")) .cmd("ping", ping)); if let Err(why) = client.start() { println!("An error occurred while running the client: {:?}", why); }}command!(ping(_context, message) { let _ = message.reply("Pong!");});```This is the example code, admittedly, yes.
