gollark: I mean, if you want the code *now* for some reason, I'll give you it?
gollark: Yes, Lua exists and I could embed it somehow, but there are !!FUN!! challenges with that:- the API is kind of unsafe so the Rust wrappers are not great- I would also have to write a bunch of glue code to allow interacting with pages and whatever, which is especially hard as my code is asynchronous- I'd *also* have to work out a nice way to integrate scripting into the interfæce still.
gollark: No, I would build some highly accursed migration tool.
gollark: Also yes.
gollark: Yes.
