gollark: Lua?
gollark: ```nim let html = buildHtml(table(class="rev-table")): tr: th: text "Time" th: text "Changes" th: text "Size" th: text "Words" for rev in revs: tr: td(class="ts"): a(href=ctx.urlFor("view-page", { "page": encodeUrl(page) }, { "ts": domain.timestampToStr(rev.time) })): text displayTime(rev.time) td: text rev.meta.editDistance.map(x => $x).get("") td: text rev.meta.size.map(x => formatSize(x)).get("") td: text rev.meta.words.map(x => $x).get("")```I mean, this is perfect and without flaw.
